1. (U) This is an action message. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. (U) The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post assistance in conducting a
pre-license and post-shipment check for the export of
spacecraft-related equipment to India. 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. (S//NF) Reason for request: PM/DTCC recently learned
that the Foreign Intermediate Consignee on the three licenses
listed below, Mangalam Traders, shares the same address as
Mayurakshi Equipments Pvt Ltd. Internet information also
shows that Anish Gupta is the POC for both companies.
Mayurakshi Equipments was the subject of a DoS demarche on
account of concerns about possible transactions with Iran
(Ref. B). Both Mayurakshi Equipments and Mangalam Traders
have also been the subject of recent intelligence reporting
(Refs. A, C, D). PM/DTCC would therefore like to conduct a
Blue Lantern check to confirm these three orders for United
States Munitions List (USML) commodities with the Foreign End
User as a check against possible diversion.
4. (U) ACTION: Please contact the Foreign End User,
Research Center IMARAT, and request that it provide
documentation which verifies the quantities and types of
commodities listed on the three licenses below. Please also
confirm intended end-use purpose and ask IMARAT to further
explain the nature of its academic teaching enterprise. Do
not/not contact Mangalam Traders. END ACTION.
