ALL ORDERS *DOMESTIC US * OR *INTERNATIONAL* MUST PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

  1) Complete disclosure of the final end user
  2) Complete disclosure of the final end user address and institution
  3) Confirmation directly from the end user of the intended application of the product

This includes all contractors, OEMs, and ALL exporters. Any email not including all of 1,2,3) as part of the initial email order request WILL BE IGNORED WITH NO RESPONSE.   Item 3) is particularly critical.   A contractor, OME, or exporter is not the final end user. Final end user means who will be using the equipment in its final installation.

US Dept of Commerce regulations, restrictions, and requirements are specific. Complete and full answers to 1,2,3) above ARE REQUIRED. We reserve the right to decline any order at our discretion. If you are suspected to be an exporter and do not disclose 1,2,3) fully in detail as part of the initial email, the order will be refused with no further consideration or reply.

Integrating the equipment into a larger system which will be subsequently reshipped to another destination DOES NOT fulfill these requirments.
