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 an order for the
items listed below for the purpose stated on the application.

The following questions provide suggested guidance:

- Are you familiar with the restrictions against the
unauthorized re-export or retransfer of U.S.-origin defense
articles?

- Who are your regular customers and where are they located?
Specifically, does your company conduct business involving
USML articles with any other countries besides Taiwan? If
so, where? If your company has offices overseas, where are
they located?
