3. On September 25, 2008, Export Control Attach Peter
Liston and ICE LES Sergey Kishkimski conducted the
requested post-shipment verification with JSC Novo,
Dubki Street 6, Moscow, Russia. The export control
team met with Vladimir Filippovsky, President, and
Andrey Kaznin, Commercial Director.
4. Novo Corporation was established circa 1992 and was
founded by former Soviet officials of State owned
institutions. Novo Corporation is located in a stand-
alone two-story office building that house their
production facility, administrative offices and sales
department. Novo Corporation has 50 employees and
manufactures police and security electronics such as
detection equipment, x-ray, and metal detectors. Novo
Corporation attends international security and police
trade shows as an exhibitor and has established an
export branch within their sales department.
5. The Export Control Attach office provided a copy
of the Commercial Invoice of the commodities for
subject cable to Novo Corporation one day before the
PSV because Novo indicated that they do not believe
that they had been in receipt of any commodities that
would warrant the visit from the ECO. During the PSV
visit to Novo, Vladimir Filippovsky explained to the
ECO that he carefully reviewed the Commercial Invoice
with his Commercial Director and only found one line
item, the eleven (11) I.C., Div 2 Prescaler, part no.
8542.39.0000, that Novo purchased. Vladimir
Filippovsky stated that Novo Corporation has a long
and respected history with the Intermediate Consignee
Radiant-Elcon LTD, and stated that it is possible that
Radiant made the purchase and stocked the remaining
line items, and are waiting for additional orders from
Novo in the future.
6. Recommendations: Post recommends Novo Corporation,
Dubki Street 6, Moscow, Russia as reliable recipients
of sensitive U.S. origin commodities.
