1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Embassy's assistance in
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050084573 for the
export of AVOX systems crew oxygen mask parts to Malaysia via
Hong Kong. Embassy 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: IN-Services, unfamiliar foreign
consignee.
4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate IN-Services officials to determine if it has
ordered the AVOX oxygen mask parts and that the articles will
ultimately be used by the Royal Malaysian AIR FORCE (RMAF),
as stated on the license. Department requests that Embassy
conduct a site visit to IN-Services to provide Department
with an assessment of its business operations, on-site
security, and general reliability as a recipient of United
States Munitions List (USML) items. IN-Services POC is
Sebastien Weber, General Manager, reference Purchase Order #
A3808 dated April 17, 2007. The following questions are
offered as suggested guidance with IN-Services:
- Can IN-Services provide documentation (e.g. purchase order,
contract, or letter or intent) from the RMAF that firmly
establishes it as the end user of these items?
- Who are IN-Services main clients?
- Does the company understand the restrictions on USML
articles, particularly regarding re-exporting (no re-transfer
or re-export without USG authorization)?
END ACTION.
