SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON APPLICATION 050208291
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 050208291 for
the export of International Traffic in Arms Regulations
(ITAR) - controlled rotary joints 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 End-User Seng-Feng Corp.
Ltd.; No documentation from Foreign Consignee or End-User;
Vague purpose for which the rotary joints are required.
4. ACTION: Department requests that AIT-Taipei make
inquiries to establish the bona fides of Seng-Feng Corp.
Conduct a site visit to assess the company's reliability as a
recipient of United States Munitions List (USML) articles as
well as its operations and on-site security. Emphasize that
the unauthorized re-export or retransfer of USML items is
strictly prohibited. Also, confirm with Step Electronics
that it ordered the items listed on the end-user's behalf.
Inquire about the specific purpose of the rotary joints;
information on the application is vague. Determine whether
any other Taiwanese-based firms are involved in the
procurement of the items.
The following questions are provided as guidance:
(To Step Electronics)
- Can Step Electronics provide documentation (e.g. purchase
order, contract, or letter of intent) from Seng-Feng Corp.
firmly establishing it as the end user of the items?
- What is Step Electronics' exact role in this transaction?
- How long has your company been in the business of importing
and selling defense articles for this end-user?
- Are you familiar with the restrictions against the
unauthorized re-export or retransfer of U.S.-origin defense
articles?
(To Seng-Feng Corp.)
- Please confirm an order for the listed items on license
application 050208291.
- How long has Seng-Feng Corp. been involved in business
operations requiring the use of USML articles?
- Does Seng-Feng Corp. serve as a broker of USML articles?
If so, with what other countries besides Taiwan?
- If your company has offices abroad, where are they located?
- Has this company ever used any other names?
- What other products are sold by your company?
- How long has Seng-Feng Corp. been involved in business
operations with the Government of Taiwan? Do you have a
regular business relationship with the Government of Taiwan?

the unauthorized re-export or retransfer of U.S.-origin
defense articles?
End Action Request.
