Over the past few months I have noticed an uptick in foreigners contacting me through the EE and asking if i would ship ITAR items out of the country. Im not sure if its ignorance or if they are just trying to see if they can get around the export restrictions by finding a seller that doesn't know the law. Has anyone noticed this happening more often recently?

I was recently asked by a member from the UK to ship him a stripped upper

Is the EE staff doing anything about it? I know they don't play around if you accidently bump your thread an hour too soon. ![]() |

With the profusion of idiocy on the internet and the complete maze of contradictory information and laws around the world, it may also be that they really have not even considered such aspects. I've encountered a fair number of people, typically younger, that seem to think anything that can be addressed with a few Google searches and PayPal is good to go.
Your observation may be 100% correct, but I'd look for more specific details. Media, control advocates, LEO, revenuers...looking for something to get offended about are all just as likely.

ITAR, making people look elsewhere for stuff since 1999. View Quote Department of commerce prevention. Fuck ITAR. That shit's gotten so far up everybody's ass it's ridiculous. Sure it's reasonable to say it's bad to sell real secret shit, but Big Brother is claiming control of damn near everything these days. |

I've been asked the question more than once via my company website too.
A lot of the traditional channels (for the UK) dried up and inside the UK I know of only one AR15 manufacturer who actually holds an import license. His prices need to be high (ITAR license, export/import license, shipping, duty, VAT and profit) I am seeing an uptick in people trying to get stuff shipped under the radar. I rarely see anyone outside of the UK (Germany and Sweden are two that have come up) but its mostly the English lot. |

Funny-sounding, smelly foreigners ruin everything.
No one wants their stupid pastries. Or oil.

So if someone wants a set of plastic handguards shipped overseas, thats an ITAR violation. |

No need to post his contact info. He could be a normal guy.

Some Russian chick won an ebay bid of mine for a Nikon rifle scope once. I tried to ship it. US customs seized it. I had no idea there was an optics restriction between US and Russia. *shrugs*

It gets even better in the sence that I cant even buy stuff in the US that was shipped from Europe to the US
![]() ITAR really hates US industry. |
