Viewing cable 08HONGKONG1087, EXTRANCHECK: POST SHIPMENT VERIFICATION: WINSUNY TECH HK

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08HONGKONG1087.

REF: A) USDOC 03398 
 
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 Winsuny HK Ltd., Rm. 145A 
Chung Kiu Commercial Building, 47-51 Shantung Street, Hong Kong 
(Winsuny). The items in question are semiconductors exported to 
Winsuny on or about April 5, 2008 and valued at USD 3,296.  On the 
applicable shippers export declaration (SED), these items are 
classified under export control classification number (ECCN) 3A001 
and, if properly classified, would be controlled for national 
security (NS) reasons.  The exporter was Rochester Electronics of 
Newburyport, Massachusetts. 
 
3.  According to the Hong Kong Companies Registry, Winsuny has been 
in existence since 2001.  Its paid up share capital is the Hong Kong 
equivalent of USD 500,000.  Mainland China national Chen Long 
(mainland ID 320626197603301439/DOB March 30,1976) is listed as the 
sole director and shareholder.  Chen Long acquired the shares of the 
company in November 2006 from Huang Hong Wei.  Neither individual 
appears to be a director in any other company in Hong Kong. 
 
4.  A search of Winsuny's web page (www.winsuny.com) reveals that 
the company is a electronics distributor.  The site further states 
that the company has additional offices in Shenzhen, Shanghai, 
Beijing, Chengdu and Xian.  It claims a staff of over 30 engineers 
providing service to customers in Chinese telecom, industry, 
military and aerospace markets.  It claims military and space 
customers including CASC and CETC, among others.  It claims also to 
represent a number of semiconductor and other electronics companies 
including Intersil, Xilinx, TI and others.  The company's Hong Kong 
address listed on its web site is the location of a wide range of 
companies, many unrelated to electronics. 
 
5.  Commercial Assistant Carrie Chan attempted for some time to 
arrange a time to conduct the PSV.  The Hong Kong number provided 
for the company rolled to a mainland China number. Eventually, Ms. 
Chan was able to establish with a Hong Kong contact, namely Jenney 
who agreed to meet at the company's headquarters in Hong Kong. She 
stated that the general manager of the company was on business 
travel and would not be able to meet. 
 
6.  On June 5, 2008, ECO and Commercial Assistant Carrie Lam visited 
Winsuny and met with Jenney (no last name or business card given), 
purchasing manager (buyer) for the company. The meeting occurred at 
the offices of a company secretarial service in a 25 square foot 
room apparently used by Winsuny (Winsuny apparently rents a second, 
similar size room in the same office complex).  Jenney provided 
background on Winsuny stating that it is a small electronics trading 
company.  She further stated that most of its business is in the 
commercial and consumer fields.  She noted that sometimes mil-spec 
semiconductors (such as the items in question) are used in medical 
equipment and oil field equipment.  The company has sales agents in 
Hong Kong and mainland China.  She stated that when Winsuny orders 
from Rochester, it does so from the Shanghai office of the company 
rather than from Hong Kong Rochester distributors because the 
Shanghai Rochester office provides better pricing terms. 
 
7.  As to the specific items in question, Jenney stated that she had 
no purchase order to provide to the ECO because Winsuny had 
purchased the items on behalf of a customer without a purchase 
order. She stated that Winsuny had expected to receive an order but 
that had not materialized.  When ECO expressed skepticism about this 
approach, Jenney stated that this was a long-standing customer and 
that it is often necessary to act quickly to secure orders.  Jenney 
stated that no order ever actually materialized and, as a result, 
she was able to show the ECO the items (marked as MG80C196KB-12/R 
and Made in Malaysia).  ECO doesn't know how it came to pass that 
Winsuny still had the items in hand but does not believe that 
Winsuny did not have a purchase order for these items. 
 
8.  When asked about the purported end-user listed on the end-use 
certificate provided to Rochester (by Winsuny), Jenney stated she 
had been told by the salesperson to enter the name (Cam-IC).  ECO 
was able to find a web site for a Cam-IC (www.cam-ic.com).  The web 
site includes a claim that the company manufactures full industry 
and aerospace, rugged, commercial-off-the-shelf industrial control 
boards.  That site is a hodgepodge of language apparently lifted 
from other web sites including the web site for CM Computer 
(Cmcomputer.com), a military contractor and EG&G (www.urscorp.com), 
another provider of various military and homeland security services 
to the U.S. government.  When asked whether she knew anything about 
Cam-IC, Jenney stated that she did not.  When asked why her name was 
included as a contact for Cam-ic of that company's web site, Jenney 
stated that the companies might be related but that she was unsure 
as to why her name would be included as a contact for this company. 
 
 
9.  Winsuny is an entirely unsuitable recipient of U.S. origin 
technology. ECO did not find the answers of Jenney to be credible. 
In fact, ECO expects that all shipments to Winsuny are immediately 
diverted to mainland China. ECO recommends a thorough review of all 
shipments to Winsuny and its address. ECO also recommends that BIS 
reach out to Rochester to determine what information it had on hand 
when it shipped the items.  Further, ECO requests that OEA confirm 
the 3A001 classification of the shipment so that ECO may reach out 
to Hong Kong TID concerning a potential violation of Hong Kong's 
export control rules in connection with this shipment.  Finally, ECO 
recommends that Winsuny be added to the BIS Unverified List.
