REF: USDOC BIS OEA Email, dated Mar 6, 2009 ¶1. Ref email requested that post conduct 4 post-shipment verifications at Everex Global Cargo Courier, Dubai Airport FreeZone, UAE for the shipment of numerous Sony computer systems exported as No License Required by Advance Computer of Mineoloa, New York. ¶2. On March 11, 2009 Export Control Officer (ECO) met with Mr. Jerry Ancil, Everex Global Cargo and Courier at their Dubai Airport Free Zone office warehouse. Ancil stated that Everex Global is a freight forwarding company that specializes in the trans-shipment of goods primarily to Iran but does ship elsewhere in the region. Ancil explained that the point of contact listed in documentation for the 4 shipments in question, Mr. Nima Sabri, is currently in Tehran, Iran for the next month or so. Ancil stated that Sabri is an Iranian and is also the Managing Director of Everex Global. ¶3. ECO had provided Ancil with the airway bill numbers and shipment dates for the 4 transactions. Ancil said he was still trying to determine the disposition of these shipments. Ancil queried if there was a problem. ECO advised that shipment of U.S. origin items to certain destinations including Iran was prohibited by U.S. export control regulations. Ancil said that if he was able to obtain additional information regarding these transactions he would be in touch. ¶4. The circumstances outlined above suggest that Everex Global Cargo and Courier is an unreliable recipient of U.S. origin items. OLSON
