See paragraphs 2-4. ¶2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Post's assistance in conducting a pre-license check on application 050214023 for the export of gyros to Indonesia. Embassy is requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 40 days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending and future licenses involving parties to this license. ¶3. Reason for request: Lack of documentation from the Indonesian Air Force. Also, unfamiliar foreign consignee, Erena International Logistics, PT (EIL). The company has appeared on a previous license but its bona fides have not been verified by a Blue Lantern check. ¶4. ACTION JAKARTA: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with appropriate authorities to determine if the Indonesian Air Force ordered the gyros from EIL and if so, verify the amount and that the items will be used for the purpose stated on the license. PM/DTCC also requests that post conduct a site visit to EIL 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: -------------- What is the exact end-use for these USML items? Will EIL retain positive control over the gyros at all times prior to turning them over to the Indonesian Air Force? --Does the company have secure facilities and proper accounting and security procedures for handling sensitive USML items? --When was the company established and who are its principals? --What is the nature of its business -- what type of items does it handle, does it serve as a broker? --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?
