¶1. This is an Action Request.  See paragraphs 2-5. 
 
¶2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls 
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Embassy's assistance in 
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050101125 for the 
export of gyroscopes to the Philippine Air Force.  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:  Unfamiliar foreign consignee, Aviatek 
Enterprise, sensitive commodity, gyroscopes. 
 
¶4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with 
appropriate Philippine Air Force (PAF) officials to determine 
if it received the gyroscopes and that the articles are being 
used for the purpose stated on the license.  Please contact 
PAF rep BrigGen Jaime E Largo, Wing Commander, 220th MW. 
According to Automated Export System (AES) records, items 
shipped from the United States on June 28, 2008 and may have 
transited Thailand before going to the RP.  Please clarify 
with end user and foreign consignee, Aviatek, the exact 
routing of this export. 
 
¶5. ACTION: Department also requests post conduct a site visit 
to Aviatek in order to assess its business operations, 
on-site security, and general reliability as a recipient of 
United States Munitions List (USML) items.  Aviatek POC is 
Jose C Figueras II, Managing Director, TEL: 632-727-0870; 
Reference Purchase Order # A-190308.  The following questions 
are provided as suggested guidance with Aviatek: 
 
- Can Aviatek provide documentation from the PAF (e.g. 
purchase order, contract, or letter of intent) establishing 
it as the final end user of these items? 
 
- Does the company understand the restrictions on United 
States Munitions List (USML) articles, particularly regarding 
re-export and retransfer? 
 
- What is the company's exact role in this transaction? 
 
- Who are the company's main clients? 
 
If a site visit is not possible, please inform PM/DTCC case 
officer. 
 
End Action.
