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 Embassy's assistance in
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050092420 for the
export of F-5 aircraft spare parts to South Korea. Items
were exported from the U.S. to South Korea on April 5, 2008.
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: Dreamtech Technology, unfamiliar
foreign consignee.


4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate South Korean AIR FORCE (SKAF) officials to
determine if the SKAF has received the F-5 parts and that the
articles are being used for the purpose stated on the
license. Department also requests that Embassy conduct a
site visit to Dreamtech in order to assess its business
operations, on-site security, and general reliability as a
recipient of United States Munitions List (USML) items.
Dreamtech POC is Dae Jong Kang, President, TEL: 055-273-5095,
reference Purchase Order # DRT-STK11 dated February 25, 2008,
in support of South Korea AIR FORCE contract # 06-012. The
following questions are offered as suggested guidance with
Dreamtech:

- Can Dreamtech provide documentation from the SKAF (e.g.
purchase order, contract, or letter of intent) establishing
it as the final end user of these items?

- Did Dreamtech receive the items from U.S. company Mytech
Corporation and have they been delivered to the SKAF?

- Are any additional South Korean consignees involved in this
transaction?

- Who are Dreamtech's main customers? What is its core
business?

- Does the company understand the restrictions on United
States Munitions List (USML) articles, particularly regarding
re-export and retransfer?

If a site visit is not possible, please inform PM/DTCC case
officer. END ACTION.
