SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON APPLICATION 050173942
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 Embassy's assistance in
conducting a pre-license check on application 050173942 for
the export of night vision goggles (NVGs) to Pakistan. 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: sensitive commodity and unfamiliar
foreign consignee M/S Majeed & Sons. The company has
appeared on a previous license but its bona fides have not
been verified by a Blue Lantern check.
4. ACTION ISLAMABAD: Post is requested to make inquiries
with appropriate GOP officials to determine if the Provincial
Police Office ordered the NVGs from M/S Majeed & Sons and if
so, verify the amount, and that the items will only be used
for the purpose stated on the license. PM/DTCC also requests
that post conducts a site visit to M/S Majeed & Sons in order
to provide Department with an assessment of its business
operations and on-site security. Finally, post is asked to
assess whether the company appears to be a reliable recipient
of USML items. If a site visit is not possible, please
inform the PM/DTCC officer.
The following questions are provided as suggested guidance:
--Does the company have supporting documentation for this
proposed transaction?
--Does the company have secure facilities and proper
accounting and security procedures for handling sensitive
USML items?
--What is the exact end-use for this USML item?
--What is the nature of the company and when was it
established? Who are its principals?
--What type of organizations are among its typical customers
and where are the customers located?
--Does the company understand the restrictions on United
States Munitions List (USML) items, especially the
prohibition against unauthorized re-transfer and re-export?
END ACTION
