REF: USDOC OEA Email dated 9/10/09


1. Ref email requested that post conduct a post-shipment
verification for an Electric Heater used in oil field related air
compressors exported as No License Required by the FSElliott
company, Export, PA.


2. On September 14, 2009 Export Control Officer met with Mr. Ali
Ahmed Safan, Senior Sales Engineer, Habshan Trading Company at their
Abu Dhabi Offices. Safan advised that Habshan Trading is an oil
field supplies and equipment company. He was aware of US export
restrictions in the region and indicated that Habshan's only
business is with the Government of Abu Dhabi owned oil and gas
industry.


3. Safan was well aware of this Electric Heater shipment due to the
fact that it had arrived nearly a month late because it was wrongly
misrouted to Brazil by the freight forwarder but finally arrived in
the UAE on 23 June 2009. Safan stated that this Heater was sold to
the Abu Dhabi Government owned Gas Company (GASCO) for use in oil
field air compressors in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Safan provided
relevant correspondence indicating that GASCO was the end user for
this transaction.


4. Post considers the Habshan Trading Company to be a reliable
recipient of U.S. origin items for this transaction.
