A bit of behind the scene detective work has paid off.

My solution was,

1. Export the bookmarks from within Chimera (HTML file).
2. Replace Favorites.html file within ~/Library/Preferences/Explorer folder
by the above file.
3. Quit Safari. Delete the following file and 2 folders...
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
~/Library/Safari/
~/Library/Caches/Safari/
4. Restart Safari and the new files would now be under imported IE
bookmarks.

Yep, a very promising app with some holes eg. No Keychain integration as far
as I can tell.
