ON APPLICATION 050120453
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 050120453 for the export
of electronic component parts to South Korea. 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 intermediate
consignee Yeonhab Precision Co., Ltd. The company has not
appeared on any previous license applications, nor have the
bona fides of the company been verified by a Blue Lantern
check.
4. ACTION: Department requests that Embassy make appropriate
inquiries to verify the bona fides of foreign intermediate
consignee Yeonhab Precision Co., Ltd., and to confirm the
legitimacy of this proposed transaction. PM/DTCC also
requests that post conducts 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 a 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:
--Does the company have supporting documentation for this
proposed transaction?
--Does the company have secure facilities and proper
accounting and security procedures for handling sensitive
USML items?
--What is the exact end-use for this USML item? Will Yeonhab
Precision retain positive control over the electrical
component parts at all times?
--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
