SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK 
ON LICENSE 05-050076770 AND 05-050077761 
 
 
¶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 pre-license check on licenses 05-050076770 and 05-050077761 
for the export of firearms and ammunition to St. Lucia. Post 
is requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 30 
days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect 
pending and future licenses involving parties to this license. 
 
¶3. Reason for Request: Unfamiliar end-users, G & T Inc. and 
Saint Lucia Shooting Association, have never been subject to 
a Blue Lantern check in the past, as they have never been 
party to an accepted license. 
 
¶4. Action Request: Post is requested to establish the bona 
fides of end-users, G & T Inc. and Saint Lucia Shooting 
Association, as legitimate recipients of the United States 
Munitions List (USML) items listed below. Post should also 
question end-users' on their familiarity with the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). The 
following points are provided for guidance: 
 
(To G & T Inc. and Saint Lucia Shooting Association) -- How 
long has your company been in the business of importing and 
selling defense articles in 
St. Lucia? What services and products are sold by your 
company? Who are your regular customers and where do they 
reside? Are you familiar with the regulations governing the 
import of U.S.-origin defense articles, including 
restrictions on re-transfer or re-export? 
 
In its reply, Post may also comment on any other information 
pertinent to these transactions such as security of facilities 
and concerns about the companies.
