1.Unauthorized disclosure of the information provided
below is prohibited by Section 12C of the Export
Administration Act.


2. As per reftel A request and at the direction of the
Office of Enforcement Analysis (OEA) of the USDOC
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS),Export Control
Officer Philip Ankel (ECO) conducted a post shipment
verification (PSV) at Heyro Chemical Company Limited
(Heyro),Lot 12, North Tsing Yi, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The item in question is synthetic resin tenite acetate
exported to Heyro on July 29, 2006 and valued at USD
71, 492. The ECCN listed on the Shippers Export
Declaration is EAR99. Items properly classified as
EAR99 may be exported and reexported license-free to
virtually all destinations worldwide. The exporter is
Eastman Chemical Company of Kingsport, Tennessee.


3. The ECO visited Heyro at the address referenced
above on November 20, 2006 and met with Mr. Anthony
Khong, Sales Manager and Mr. Norman Wong, Executive
Director of CM Holdings (the holding company that owns
Heyro). Mr. Khong and Mr. Wong provided background on
Heyro and its business, which involves the sales and
distribution of chemicals to the optical parts
manufacturing market and to other trading companies in
Hong Kong. Mr. Wong stated that Heyro is one of
several companies that form the CM Holdings Group (more
background can be found at www.cmholdings.com).
Besides Heyro Chemical Company, Limited, CM Holdings
controls Heyro Optical Co. Limited (manufacturer and
distributor of eyewear in Hong Kong and mainland
China),Sealand Environ-tech Co. Ltd. (environmental
services provider),and Leung Wan Kee Shipyard Limited.


4. Mr. Khong stated that the shipment in question had
been sold to Eleung Limited, an eyewear manufacturer in
Hong Kong for production of eyewear in Hong Kong. Mr.
Khong produced for the ECO an invoice reflecting the
sale of tenite cellulose acetate to Eleung Limited in
Hong Kong dated October 10, 2006 as well as a
corresponding delivery order also dated October 10,

2006.


5. At the time visited, Heyro appeared to be a suitable
recipient of the commodities shipped since Heyro
cooperated with the PSV and provided all requested
information concerning the use and final disposition of
the shipment. At the same time, the ECO was not able
to inspect the subject item as it had already been
delivered to Heyro's customer, Eleung. Consistent with
guidance on reporting of PSVs where the items cannot be
physically inspected, the ECO recommends that this PSV
be classified as Limited.
