Thanks for posting over there for him, he's not over here yet, but I'm trying to bring him over...

I keep coming up with nothing on the importer also, I'm sure they were in and then right bak out of business around ban time.

Thanks sasm7...

Most of these obsecure companies were just front companies for the PLA. My best guess is that IDE was just another front company set up for CJA( China Jing An)(same town in MI), after the 89 ban.
