SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON LICENSE 05-050085871


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 pre-license check on license 05-050085871 for the export of
rifles and ammunition to Hungary. Post is requested to
complete this Blue Lantern check within 30 days. Lack of
response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending and
future licenses involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for Request: The authenticity of supporting
documentation for past license requests has been
questionable. The present license requests a quantity that
exceeds end-user's entire imports of Remington rifles in

2007.


4. Action Request: Post is requested to establish the bona
fides of end-user, Magnum Vadasz & Hajos Ltd, as a legitimate
recipient of the United States Munitions List (USML) items
listed below. Post should also question end-user on their
familiarity with the International Traffic in Arms Regulation
(ITAR). Additionally, Post should verify the validity of the
Nontransfer and Use Certificate (DSP-83) and import
documentation listed in paragraph 6. The following points are
included for guidance:

(To Magnum Vadasz & Hajos Ltd) -- How long has your company
been in the business of importing and selling defense
articles in Hungary? What services and products are sold by
your company? Who are your regular customers and where do
they reside? What were your total sales of Remington rifles
in 2007? How many Remington rifles did you import in 2007?
Are you familiar with the regulations governing the import of
U.S.-origin defense articles, including restrictions on
re-transfer or re-export?

In its reply, Post may also comment on any other information
pertinent to these transactions such as security of
facilities, end-use, and concerns about the entities involved.
.
