Sec. 748.5  Parties to the transaction.

    The following parties may be entered on the BXA-748P Multipurpose 
Application Form or electronic equivalent. The definitions, which also 
appear in part 772 of the EAR, are set out here for your convenience to 
assist you in filling out your application correctly.
    (a) Applicant. The person who applies for an export or reexport 
license, and who has the authority of a principal party in interest to 
determine and control the export or reexport of items. See Sec. 748.4(a) 
and definition of ``exporter'' in part 772 of the EAR.
    (b) Other party authorized to receive license. The person authorized 
by the applicant to receive the license. If a person and address is 
listed in Block 15 of the BXA-748P Multipurpose Application Form or the 
electronic equivalent, the Bureau of Export Administration will send the 
license to that person instead of the applicant. Designation of another 
party to receive the license does not alter the responsibilities of the 
applicant, licensee or exporter.
    (c) Purchaser. The person abroad who has entered into the 
transaction to purchase an item for delivery to the ultimate consignee. 
In most cases, the purchaser is not a bank, forwarding agent, or 
intermediary. The purchaser and ultimate consignee may be the same 
entity.
    (d) Intermediate consignee. The person that acts as an agent for a 
principal party in interest and takes possession of the items for the 
purpose of effecting delivery of the items to the ultimate consignee. 
The intermediate consignee may be a bank, forwarding agent, or other 
person who acts as an agent for a principal party in interest.
    (e) Ultimate consignee. The principal party in interest located 
abroad who receives the exported or reexported items. The ultimate 
consignee is not a forwarding agent or other intermediary, but may be 
the end-user.
    (f) End-user. The person abroad that receives and ultimately uses 
the exported or reexported items. The end-user is not a forwarding agent 
or intermediary, but may be the purchaser or ultimate consignee.
