Sellers on EBAY must be making a killing currently with these stupid UN Laws.
I have the problem the other way round since I can import about anything I want to have. I even imported prohibited material since I fullfill all legal requirements and it only took the customs some time to understand that (and ask my authority if I don't tell them BS) - BUT I have real problems to send these outside Europe, since no shipping company would accept "weapon parts". What they do is they scan everything which goes into air mail, and automatically reject such items which appear to have the shape of a gun or a gun part ... These are the same companies which deliver the stuff locally which they get from outside my country. Weird world, isn't it?

PS: Didn't only happen once that it took an item two months to arrive, only with having a sticker (yes, you already have a sticker for that) saying "MISSENT TO Australiaicon", instead of Austriaicon...
