Internet searching found a website for the Foreign Consignee that describes its business (http://www.superwong.com.tw/), however, the company was also found listed on mainland China websites soliciting business transactions. ¶4. ACTION: Please visit the Foreign Consignee, Super Wong Industrial Company, and make appropriate inquiries to ascertain the bona fides of this company as a responsible recipient of USML commodities. The following questions are provided as suggested guidance. --What is the nature of Super Wong's business and who are its usual clients? --When was the company established and who are the owners? Are there other companies doing business at this same address? --Does Super Wong have an established relationship with the government of Taiwan as a supplier of defense articles? --Does Super Wong understand the restrictions on USML commodities, particularly the prohibition against re-transfers or re-exports without express USG authorization? --Has Super Wong had any commercial agreements or business dealings with Iran, North Korea, or China? AIT Taipei should also contact appropriate government of Taiwan officials and make inquires to confirm the bona fides of Super Wong Industrial Company and ascertain the existence of any derogatory information.
