Industry and Security Bureau October 31, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On June 14, 2002, the Bureau of Industry and Security (``BIS'') published a notice in the Federal Register that set forth a list of persons in foreign countries who were parties to past export transactions where pre-license checks or post-shipment verifications could not be conducted for reasons outside the control of the U.S. Government (``Unverified List''). Additionally, on July 16, 2004, BIS published a notice in the Federal Register that advised exporters that the Unverified List would also include persons in foreign countries in transactions where BIS is not able to verify the existence or authenticity of the end-user, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or other party to the transaction. These notices advised exporters that the involvement of a listed person as a party to a proposed transaction constitutes a ``red flag'' as described in the guidance set forth in Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR part 732, requiring heightened scrutiny by the exporter before proceeding with such a transaction. This notice adds five entities to the Unverified List. The entities are: T.Z.H. International Co. Ltd., Room 23, 2/F, Kowloon Bay Ind Center, No. 15 Wany Hoi Rd, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region; Design Engineering Center, House 184, Street 36, Sector F-10/1, Islamabad, Pakistan; Kantry, 13/2 Begovaya Street, Moscow, Russia 125284; Elaton Company, 20B Berezhkovskaya Naberezhnaya, Moscow, Russia; and Pskovenergo Service, 47-A Sovetskaya Street, Pskov, Russia Federation, 180000.
