WELLINGTON FOR THOMAS WALSH
E.O. 12958: N/A
TAGS: ETTC KOMC NZ
SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-LICENSE/PRE-SHIPMENT
END-USE CHECK ON LICENSE 050169981
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 post-license/pre-shipment check on license 050169981 for
the export of firearms to New Zealand. 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 end-user claims to be using these
firearms for "IPSC completion and target shooting events" but
the license is for eleven firearms, including eight of the
same make and model. The quantity appears to be relatively
high for personal end-use. This request is for Post to
confirm end-use and determine if any of these firearms are
for resale.
4. Action Request: Post is requested to verify the end-use
of the firearms listed below by making appropriate inquiries
to Mr. Chris Gee. Post is also requested to determine why
Mr. Gee needs eleven firearms; eight of which are of the same
make and model. Finally, Post is requested to determine if
any of the firearms are for resale and to remind Mr. Gee that
any retransfer or re-export requires authorization of the
United States Department of State (Note: The International
Traffic in Arms Regulation is available at
www.pmddtc.state.gov/regulations laws/itar official.html). In
its reply, Post is encouraged to comment on any information
pertinent to this transaction such as security of facilities,
end-use, and concerns about the entities involved.
