1. Reftel requests verification of computer parts and
accessories shipped to ultimate consignee: IGL Industries,
route de Gabes, km8 Sfax, Tunisia. Liscense code for these
products is C33 NLR. In order to arrange the on-site
verification visit, commercial specialist faxed parts
information and spoke with Mrs. Saoussen Bradai, head of
IGL's purchasing department and her supervisor, Mr. Noomane.
Both Mr. Noomane and Mrs Bradai indicated that the subject
parts are no longer at IGL Industries. These were computer
parts which are used in the manufacture of microcomputers.
The microcomputers are then sold under the 'Versus'
brandname. IGL's end products can be viewed on their
website: www.versus.com.tn.


2. While Econoff was welcome to visit IGL, both
interlocutors said that they would be on vacation through the
end of August (note: Tunisians work half days during the
summer months and August is the prime vacation month). If
DOC/BIS advises, Post is willing to conduct a physical
post-shipment verification which would consist of an on-site
visit to review documentation of invoices and sales receipts
related to subject computer parts and a tour of the plant.
In this case, Post requests funding for EconOff, Commercial
specialist and driver to travel to Sfax and conduct the
verification. Funding should include travel costs and per
diem for 2 days (overnight trip).
