NICARAGUAN COMPANY COSERVISA
REF: USDOC 1969
1. Econoff performed the requested pre-license check on
Coservisa, which seeks to import Air Taser kits and
accompanying products (application D355948). Nicaraguan
National Police (NNP) and interagency name checks on the
proprietor did not reveal any derogatory information. A
visit to Coservisa confirmed that it is a legitimate
multi-service business involved in enterprises including
consumer goods, electronics and pharmaceuticals. Coservisa
also runs an English-language religious school in Managua.
2. Coservisa managers stated that their plan is to import a
small number of Tasers for resale to the NNP. They said that
they do not yet have a contract because they want approval to
import the product before formalizing their agreement with
the NNP. The company also lacks a current weapons
importation license from the NNP, which would be required
under Nicaraguan law.
