Viewing cable 06MANAGUA1136, PRE-LICENSE CHECK FOR WEAPONS IMPORTATION FROM

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

SUBJECT: PRE-LICENSE CHECK FOR WEAPONS IMPORTATION FROM 
NICARAGUAN COMPANY COSERVISA 
 
REF: USDOC 1969 
 
1. Econoff performed the requested pre-license check on 
Coservisa, which seeks to import Air Taser kits and 
accompanying products (application D355948).  Nicaraguan 
National Police (NNP) and interagency name checks on the 
proprietor did not reveal any derogatory information.  A 
visit to Coservisa confirmed that it is a legitimate 
multi-service business involved in enterprises including 
consumer goods, electronics and pharmaceuticals.  Coservisa 
also runs an English-language religious school in Managua. 
 
2. Coservisa managers stated that their plan is to import a 
small number of Tasers for resale to the NNP.  They said that 
they do not yet have a contract because they want approval to 
import the product before formalizing their agreement with 
the NNP.  The company also lacks a current weapons 
importation license from the NNP, which would be required 
under Nicaraguan law.
