SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON APPLICATION 050180288

REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK

This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.


2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests AIT-Taipei's assistance in
conducting a pre-license check on application 050180288 for
the export of three International Traffic in Arms Regulations
(ITAR) - controlled power amplifiers to Taiwan. AIT-Taipei
is requested to complete this Blue Lantern within 30 days.
Lack of response to a Blue Lantern inquiry will affect
pending and future licenses involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for request: Unfamiliar Foreign Consignee May Geng
Duo Development Co., Ltd; to verify role of unlisted foreign
party Channel Link Inc. in this transaction (Note: May Geng
Duo Development and Channel Link Inc. used same telephone and
fax numbers in their documentation, but they do not appear to
be co-located); no documentation from End-User.


4. ACTION: Department requests that AIT-Taipei make
inquiries to establish the bona fides of May Geng Duo
Development Co., Ltd and Channel Link Inc. in the proposed
transaction. Conduct site visits to assess these firms'
reliability as recipients of United States Munitions List
(USML) articles as well as their operations and on-site
security. Also, confirm with Chung Shan Institute of Science
and Technology that it ordered the items listed for the
purpose stated on the application.

The following questions provide suggested guidance for May
Geng Duo Development Co. Ltd and Channel Link Inc.:

- Can your company provide documentation (e.g. purchase
order, contract, or letter of intent) from Chung Shan
Institute of Science and Technology firmly establishing it as
the end user of the items?

- What is your company's exact role in this transaction?

- Documents submitted in support of the application include
an order confirmation from Channel Link Inc., Hsintien,
Taiwan, to Dage Corporation dated 30 June 2009. This firm's
name, however, does not appear on the application. Why was
Channel Link Inc.'s name not included on the application?

- Who are this firm's main customers and where are they
located?

- What other products are sold by your company?

- How long has your company been in the business of importing
and selling defense articles?

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

articles?


(To Chung Shan Institute for Science & Technology (CSIST)):

- Please confirm an order for the items listed on license
application 050180288.

- How long has CSIST done business with May Geng Duo
Development Co. Ltd, and with Channel Link Inc., respectively?

- What is the specific role of each firm in the proposed
transaction?

- Documents submitted in support of the application include
an order confirmation from Channel Link Inc., Hsintien,
Taiwan, to Dage Corporation dated 30 June 2009. This firm's
name, however, does not appear on the application. Why was
Channel Link Inc.'s name not included on the application?

End ACTION request.
