Individual’s Middle Name or Initial Should be Provided
DDTC revises its guidelines to add that when completing any online license application and an individual’s name is required, the middle name or initial should be provided.
Only Legal Business Name Permitted on Applications
DDTC’s guidelines continue to state that when completing any online license application, only the legal business name is permitted when listing a party involved in an export or temporary import (i.e., source/manufacturer, seller, consignor, freight forwarder, foreign consignee, foreign intermediate consignee and end user).
An applicant must ensure the correct spelling is used when entering the legal business name(s).
(DDTC guidelines also specify what must not be included in the legal business name(s) data field, including subsidiary information, etc.)
Failure to Follow Guidelines May Result in Review Delay, RWA
DDTC states that failure to adhere to its guidelines may result in a delay in review of a license application or a return without action (RWA).
(See ITT’s Online Archives or 04/02/10 news, (Ref:10040220), for BP summary of DDTC issuing these guidelines.)
