SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK
ON LICENSE 050196112
REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK
1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Post's assistance in
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050196122 for
the export of International Traffic in Arms
(ITAR)-controlled AH-1W helicopter parts and components to
Taiwan. Post is requested to complete this Blue Lantern
inquiry within 45 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 consignee, Dali Sin Ya
Co. Ltd. (DSY) (no licensing history); no documentation
from foreign end-user, Taiwan Ministry of National Defense
(TMND); commodities with risk of diversion.
4. ACTION: The Department requests that Post confirm that
the Foreign End User, TMND, ordered the items listed for
the purpose stated on the license application. In
addition, the Department requests that Post make inquiries
with appropriate officials to establish the bona fides of
DSY in the transaction. Conduct a site visit to
assess the company's reliability as a recipient of United
States Munitions List (USML) articles as well as an
assessment of the company's on-site security and
operations. If a site visit is not possible, please
inform the PM/DTCC case officer.
The following points are included for guidance:
--Can DSY provide documentation that verifies the end-use
of the helicopter components, such as a contract or
purchase order from the TMND?
--When was DSY established and who are its principals?
--What is the nature of the company's businesses -- what
type of items does it handle? Does the company serve as a
broker?
--What type of organizations are among its typical
customers and where are they located?
--Does DSY understand the restrictions on USML items,
especially the prohibition against unauthorized
re-transfer and
re-export?
END ACTION.
