Most countries seem to have a very, very long list of controlled or
prohibitied items that seem to make no sense but are often to do with
international trade relationships than anything to do with the consumer.
Often the list is specific to the two importing and exporting countries, so
it is OK to import an item from one country but not from another, or the
import duty varies by country depending on trade agreements.
I remember my farther having a UK customs manual (he was in import/export)
and it was like an encyclopedia britannica!
