SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON APPLICATION 050118916
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 post's assistance in conducting
a pre-license check on application 050118916 for the export
of a FLIR Thermal Imaging System to Ireland. 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. Reason for request: unfamiliar foreign end user, IRT
Consult Limited, which has not appeared on any previous
PM/DTCC applications, and vague end-use statement.
4. ACTION: Department requests that Embassy make appropriate
inquiries to verify the bona fides of foreign end-user IRT
Consult Limited and to confirm the legitimacy of this
proposed transaction. PM/DTCC also requests that post
conduct a site visit to the company in order to provide
Department with an assessment of its business operations and
on-site security. Finally, post is asked to assess whether
the company appears to be reliable recipient of USML items.
If a site visit is not possible, please inform the PM/DTCC
officer.
The following questions are provided as suggested guidance
for IRT Consult Limited:
--Does the company have supporting documentation, including
purchase orders, for this proposed transaction?
--What is the exact end-use for this USML item? Will IRT
Consult retain positive control over the FLIR system at all
times or will your company lease the system to your
customers? Who exactly are these customers and where are
they located? Are they all located in Ireland? Will the
FLIR system be taken outside of Ireland? If so, where?
--When was the company established and who are its
principals?
--What is the nature of its business -- what type of items
does it handle, does it serve as a broker?
--What type of organizations are among its typical customers
and where are the customers located?
--Does the company understand the restrictions on United
States Munitions List (USML) items, especially the
prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers and re-exports?
END ACTION
