If possible, conduct site visits to assess the companies' reliability as recipients of United States Munitions List (USML) items as well as their operations and on-site security. Emphasize that the unauthorized re-export or retransfer of USML items is strictly prohibited. Confirm with the end-user that it placed an order for the items listed below for the purpose stated on the application.

Does it have a website? - Can your company provide additional documentation firmly establishing its role in the proposed transaction? - Has the company previously imported or acted as a consignee involving U.S. defense articles requiring a USML license? - Does your company regularly or otherwise procure defense articles for this end-user?

If so, where are they located? - Has this company ever used any other names? - What other products are sold by your company? --What types of organizations are among your typical customers and where are the customers located? --Does the company understand the restrictions on USML items, especially the prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers and re-exports?
