SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK 
ON LICENSE 050071677 
 
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 Embassy's assistance in 
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050071677 for the 
export of F-100 engine aircraft parts to Japan.  Embassy is 
requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45 days. 
 Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending 
and future licenses involving parties to this license. 
 
¶3. Reason for request: The commodities requested from 
unfamiliar foreign consignee, Mitsubishi Cable Industries, 
Ltd., appear excessive. 
 
¶4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with 
appropriate officials to determine if the Japanese Ministry 
of Defense (JMOD) has received the F-100 engine parts and 
that the articles are being used for the purpose stated on 
the license.  Department also requests that Embassy conduct a 
site visit to Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd. in order 
to provide an assessment of its business operations, on-site 
security, and general reliability as a recipient of United 
States Munitions List (USML) items.  Mitsubishi Cable 
Industries, Ltd. POC is Osamu Murata (Managing Director) 
81-3-3216-1585.  The following questions are offered as 
suggested guidance with Mitsubishi: 
 
Can Mitsubishi provide documentation from JMOD verifying it 
as the end user?  Does the company have an established, 
legitimate customer base to which it plans to sell these 
commodities?  Does the company keep proper, detailed records 
of its sales and customers?  Does the company understand the 
restrictions on USML articles, particularly regarding 
re-export and retransfer? 
END ACTION.
