A BIS license application for national security items to Indonesia will generally require:

• A. a statement by the ultimate consignee and purchaser AND an import/end-use certificate by the IC/DV authority of the country
• B. only a statement by the ultimate consignee
• C. only an import certificate
• D. no documentation

Answer: (A)

For national security items being sent to Indonesia, BIS often requires a pair of controls to verify how the item will be used and who will receive it. The statement by the ultimate consignee and purchaser identifies exactly who will receive the item in Indonesia and what the intended end-use is. The import/end-use certificate from Indonesia’s competent authority confirms that the destination country approves the import and that the item will be used for the stated purpose, not diverted elsewhere. This combination provides a clear and accountable trail for the license review, helping ensure the item goes to the right end-use and end-user and is not misused. Relying on only one of these documents, or none, would leave gaps in verifying legitimate end-use and import authorization.
