SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK 
ON LICENSE 050073566 
 
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 Embassies, assistance in 
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050073566 for the 
export of Super Tucano aircraft parts to Colombia.  Embassies 
are 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: Lack of documentation from Colombian 
Air Force (CAF), and unfamiliar foreign intermediate 
consignee, Darrigo & Valente Transportes, Ltda. (in Brazil). 
 
¶4. ACTION Bogota: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with 
appropriate host government officials to determine if the CAF 
has received the Super Tucano spare parts from Embraer and 
that the articles are being used for the purpose stated on 
the license.  Export data indicates that items worth $1,898 
shipped from the United States on January 7, 2008.  Due to 
lack of documentation from the end-user, post is requested to 
exercise its contacts within the Colombian MOD to verify this 
order. (It may be helpful to reference the Embraer POC, Raul 
Calminatti, Tel. 12 3927-7679, Purchase Order No. 900192943 
signed October 3, 2007). 
END ACTION BOGOTA 
 
ACTION Brasilia: Department requests that Embassy conduct a 
site visit to Darrigo & Valente Transportes, Ltda. (DVT) in 
order to verify its bona fides.  Embassy is urged to assess 
DVT,s reliability as a recipient of USML articles, and 
assess its operations and on-site security.  Emphasize that 
the unauthorized re-export and retransfer of USML items is 
strictly prohibited.  Can DVT provide documentation 
establishing its order for the items in question and that the 
CAF is the final end user? 
END ACTION BRASILIA.
