SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK
ON LICENSE 050108473
REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK
1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post's assistance in conducting
a post-shipment check on application 050108473 for the export
of fiber optic inverters to South Korea. Post is requested
to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45 days. Lack of
response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending and
future licenses involving parties to this license.
3. Reason for request: Lack of documentation from end-user
the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) and
Unfamiliar foreign intermediate consignee EO Systems Co.,
Ltd. The company has appeared on previous license
applications but the bona fides of the company have not been
verified by a Blue Lantern check.
4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate host government officials to determine if DAPA
ordered the fiber optic inverters and if so, that the
articles will be used for the purpose stated on the license.
Department also requests that Embassy make appropriate
inquiries to verify the bona fides of foreign intermediate
consignee EO Systems Co., Ltd., and to confirm the legitimacy
of this transaction. PM/DTCC also requests that post
conducts a site visit to the company in order to provide
Department with an assessment of its business operations and
on-site security. Finally, post is asked to assess whether
the company appears to be a reliable recipient of USML items.
If a site visit is not possible, please inform the PM/DTCC
officer.
The following questions are provided as suggested guidance:
--Does the company have supporting documentation for this
proposed transaction?
--Does the company have secure facilities and proper
accounting and security procedures for handling sensitive
USML items?
--What is the exact end-use for this USML item? Will EO
Systems Co., Ltd. retain positive control over the fiber
optic inverters at all times?
--When was the company established and who are its
principals?
--What is the nature of its business -- what type of items
does it handle, does it serve as a broker?
--What type of organizations are among its typical customers
and where are the customers located?
--Does the company understand the restrictions on United
States Munitions List (USML) items, especially the
prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers and re-exports?
END ACTION
