REF: USDOC OEA EMAIL DATED 11/24/09
1. Ref email requested that post conduct a post-shipment
verification for Aircraft Radio Navigational equipment exported as
No License Required by Blue Coat Systems, Fremont, CA.
2. On November 30, 2009 Export Control Officer met with a Mr. Tim
Martin, Managing Director and Mr. Tabrez Surve, Blue Coat Product
Manager, Computerlinks FZC at their Dubai Silicon Oasis Office.
Computerlinks specializes in IT systems integration
(www.computerlinks.net). Surve advised that Blue Coat only
specializes in IT technology and would have nothing to do with
Radio navigational equipment relating to aircraft. Regarding this
transaction, neither Surve nor Martin was able to locate the
shipment based upon the SED alone. Surve suggested that the item
was likely misclassified as navigational equipment when exported by
Blue Coat Systems.
3. Post suggests that OEA contact the U.S. Exporter regarding a
possible misclassification.
