SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK 
ON LICENSES 050059552, 050127774, AND 050188290 
 
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 Post's assistance in 
conducting a post-shipment check on licenses 050059552, 
050127774, and 050188290 for the export of International 
Traffic in Arms (ITAR)-controlled aircraft refueling nozzles 
to Singapore.  Post is 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: The U.S. applicant, Carter Ground 
Fueling (CGF), recently submitted license 050207766 for the 
export of refueling nozzles to foreign consignee Haneflex (S) 
Pte. Ltd. of Singapore.  However, said license was Returned 
Without Action (RWA) due to the fact that the end user is an 
entity located in the PRC.  Prior to the submission of 
050207766, the subject licenses were approved for the same 
commodity (refueling nozzles) and foreign  consignee 
(Haneflex) as 050207766, except the listed end user on the 
licenses is the Singapore Air Force (SAF) / Defense Science & 
Technology Agency (DSTA).  The subject license applications 
did not include any supporting documentation from the end 
user. The circumstances suggest the possibility the items may 
have been diverted. 
 
¶4. ACTION: The Department requests that Post confirm that the 
foreign end user, SAF/DSTA has received all items listed on 
the license applications (see para 5).  In addition, the 
Department requests that Post make inquiries with appropriate 
officials to establish the bona fides of Haneflex in the 
transaction.  Conduct a site visit to assess the company's 
reliability as a recipient of United States Munitions List 
(USML) articles as well as an assessment of the company's 
on-site security and operations.  If a site visit is not 
possible, please inform the PM/DTCC case officer. 
 
The following points are included for guidance: 
 
--Can Haneflex provide documentation that verifies the 
end-use of the refueling nozzles, such as a contract or 
purchase order from the SAF or DSTA 
 
--When was Haneflex established and who are its principals? 
 
--What is the nature of the company's businesses -- what type 
of items does it handle?  Does the company serve as a broker? 
 
--What type of organizations are among its typical customers 
and where are they located? 
 
--Does Haneflex understand the restrictions on USML items, 
especially the prohibition against unauthorized re-transfer 
and re-export? 
 
END ACTION.
