SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK 
ON LICENSE 05-1008904 
 
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 Posts' assistance in conducting 
a post-shipment check on license 05-1008904 for the export of 
International Traffic in Arms (ITAR)-controlled night vision 
devices (NVDs) to Malaysia. Posts are requested to complete 
this Blue Lantern inquiry within 45 days.  Lack of response 
to a Blue Lantern inquiry will affect pending and future 
licenses involving parties to this license. 
 
¶3. Reason for request:  Due to the sensitivity of the 
equipment and the potential for their diversion or misuse, 
the Department of State and the Department of Defense have 
policies of carefully scrutinizing NVD export licenses and 
taking steps to ensure proper end-use.  Provisos attached to 
these licenses obligate the end-user to secure the NVDs 
from loss, theft, or unauthorized access, and to perform 
routine inventory checks by serial number.  These records 
are to be made available for review upon U.S. Government 
request. 
 
¶4. Action Kuala Lumpur:  The Department requests that Post 
inquire within the Malaysian Government to confirm the 
continued possession of the NVDs by the Royal Malaysian 
Police, Narcotics Department. Verify the serial numbers of 
the NVDs and confirm that all of them are secure and being 
used only for the purpose stated on the license.  Department 
further requests that Post conduct a site visit in order to 
gather and verify this information.  If a site visit is not 
possible, please obtain official, written confirmation of 
receipt and possession of the NVDs by the end-user, and 
inform the PM/DTCC case officer. 
 
Action Singapore:  Post is requested to make appropriate 
inquiries with Foreign Consignee Lexian Electronics to 
determine its specific role, and confirm the legitimacy of 
the transaction. 
 
The following questions are provided as guidance: 
 
-- How long has this company been involved in business 
operations with the Malaysian government? Does it have a 
regular business relationship with the Malaysian government? 
 
--Does the company have secure facilities and proper 
accounting and security procedures for handling sensitive 
United States Munitions List (USML) items? 
 
--Were all of the NVGs ordered by Lexian provided to the 
Royal Malaysian Police?  If not, where are the others? 
 
--Does Lexian Electronics understand the restrictions on USML 
items, especially the prohibition against unauthorized 
re-transfer and re-export?
