SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON LICENSES 050201597 AND 050201795
1. This is an Action Request. See paragraph 4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Post's assistance in conducting
a pre-license check on licenses 050201597 and 050201795 for
the export of pistols to Jamaica. 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: The purchase orders on both licenses
appear to be identical, but there are sequential import
permits. This request is to verify the bona fides of both
transactions and confirm with the import authorities that all
firearms are authorized to enter Jamaica.
4. Action Request: Post is requested to establish the bona
fides of this transaction and end-user Gun Depot by making
inquiries to representatives of the company and appropriate
authorities of the Government of Guatemala. The following
points are included for guidance:
(To A & A Dealers)
--Please explain why both purchase orders provided for these
licenses are identical. Why did you decide to pursue two
separate transactions rather than submitting a single order
to the U.S. vendor?
--Is there a legal limit on the quantity of firearms allowed
to be listed on any one import authorization?
--What are your annual sales of U.S.-origin firearms?
(To Appropriate Import and/or Law Enforcement Authorities)
--Can you confirm the authenticity of Import Permits
IP2009/122 and IP2009/123?
--Is there a legal limit on the quantity of firearms allowed
to be listed on any one import authorization? What
motivation would A & A Dealers have for seeking separate
import authorizations in these cases?
--Are all 80 pistols authorized for import into Jamaica?
--Do you have any information on A & A Dealers that would
call in to question their reliability as a recipient of U.S.
defense articles?
In its reply, Post may also comment on any other information
pertinent to these transactions such as security of
facilities, end-use, and concerns about the entities
involved.
