1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade
Controls Compliance (PM/DTCC)requests Posts'
assistance in conducting a pre-license check
on application 050139416 for the export of
electronic components and spare parts to
Azerbaijan. Posts are requested to complete

transaction; diversion concerns.
4. Action Tel Aviv: Department requests that Post
contact Foreign Consignee Elbit Systems, Tadiran to
confirm its role in the proposed transaction, and
determine whether or not it has proper supporting
documentation, including purchase orders from the
Azerbaijan MOD. Ask Elbit Systems-Tadiran if it is
one of Azerbaijan MOD's regular suppliers/contractors,
and obtain the specifics of any other contracts
this entity currently holds with the MOD. Emphasize
that the unauthorized re-export or retransfer of
United States Munitions List (USML) items is strictly
prohibited.
Action Baku: Confirm that the Azerbaijan MOD ordered
the exact type and quantity of USML items listed on the
license application for the specific purpose from Elbit
Systems-Tadiran. Verify the foreign consignee's specific
role in this transaction, and determine how long the
Azerbaijan MOD has done business with this entity. Ask
the Azerbaijan MOD if Elbit Systems is one of its regular
suppliers/contractors, and obtain the specifics of any other
contracts this entity currently holds with the MOD.
