We contacted Duta Bangun Persada on July 23 to confirm shipment of goods listed in reftel. Bangun's procurement officer Nancy Hutagaol confirmed that the company received orders from Indonesian Air Force (IAF) to procure spare parts for IAF's C-130 aircraft and placed its orders to three different U.S. sellers mentioned in reftel. Ms. Hutagaol said that those orders were shipped by air from U.S. Sellers through Bangun's principals in Singapore (UNISERVE-trading). Uniserve then delivered the ordered components to the IAF appointed freight forwarder who delivered the order directly to IAF's warehouse at Halim Air Force Base in South Jakarta. The goods did not pass through Bangun's warehouse. Ms. Hutagaol also claimed that licenses DTC Case: 05-1010408 and 05-1014219 are completed and already received by the IAF. However, one shipment of voltage regulators, DTC Case: 050032097, is still at UNISERVE-trading , which is located in 14A Poole Road (Tanjung Katong),Singapore, waiting for further delivery to the IAF.
