Alright. I received my refund so that is done thankfully. In the emails I received they said usually they don't have issues sending things to the US and blamed an over zealous customs agent for the package being returned. As far as I can tell the package never left Franceicon but it really does not matter which agency returned it to sender.
The EU has really strict rules. Last year I tried to order a wood stock from Germanyicon with no metal hardware what so ever. Shortly there after I received a sternly written Email basically saying “Ve Hav Rules” and citing EU rules on the matter which said nothing arms related can be shipped international. More than likely the same rules apply to France.

So I do not mean to disparage H&C. It is not their fault that this did not work out, but at the same time I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't hawk it if you cant ship it.
