ON APPLICATION 050197825
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 050197825
for the export of a United States Munitions List
(USML)-controlled UHF Receiver Transmitter to Malaysia. Post
is requested to complete this Blue Lantern inquiry within 30
days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern inquiry will affect
pending and future licenses involving parties to this license.
3. Reason for request: To substantiate the bona fides of
all parties involved in the proposed transaction.
4. Action: Department requests that Post make inquiries
within the Government of Malaysia to confirm the bona fides
of Zetro Services SDN BHD in the proposed transaction. If
possible, conduct a site visit to assess the company's
reliability as a recipient of USML items as well as its
operations and on-site security. Emphasize that the
unauthorized re-export or retransfer of USML items is
strictly prohibited. Confirm with the end-user that it
placed the order for the item listed below for the purpose
stated on the application. Determine whether any other
Malaysian-based firms are involved in the procurement of the
items.
The following questions are provided for guidance:
- Please confirm an order for the item listed on license
050197825.
- Does Zetro Services understand the restrictions against
the unauthorized re-export or retransfer of U.S.-origin
defense articles?
- Does Zetro Services serve as a broker of USML articles
with any countries besides Malaysia? If so, where? If your
company has offices abroad, where are they located? Has this
company ever used any other names?
- How long has your company been in the business of
importing and selling defense articles?
- What other products are sold by this company?
- How long has Zetro Services been involved in business
operations with the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF); do you
have a regular business relationship with RMAF?
End Action Request.
