cited on the license.
4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with the
appropriate officials from the Japanese Ministry of Defense
(JMOD) to confirm its order of the items on this license and
determine whether or not there are additional Japanese
parties to this transaction. The Department requests that

provide an assessment of its business operations, on-site
security, and general reliability as a recipient of United
States Munitions List (USML) items. Global Gate, Inc. POC is

company have an established, legitimate customer base to
which it plans to sell these commodities? Does the company
