The law was altered to allow such exports a few years later.<ref>http://www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations_&_policies/Eligible_US_Establishments_by_Country/index.asp#alphalist</ref> Many large companies have had to make files to track their resold goods to avoid penalty. The charge was for rape kits, finger print imaging kits, finger printing powder kits, and other evidence collecting products, etc.<ref>http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/05-19314.htm</ref> The effects were not sold directly to China, but were resold without the explicit knowledge of Carrington. Paper handling and documentation were handled badly by Carrington. However, under the law this circumstance was not an exception and a guilty plea was submitted. |
