Finally, post is asked to assess whether the company appears
to be a reliable recipient of USML items. If a site visit is

The following questions are provided as suggested guidance:
--Does the company have supporting documentation for this
transaction?
--Does the company have secure facilities and proper
accounting and security procedures for handling sensitive
USML items?
--Will KRKA, d.d. retain positive control over the ImagIR
Camera Head at all times?
--When was the company established and who are its
principals?
