I logged into my favorite place to buy non-electronic, non-gun stuff (Graingers) to order some DuPont Krytox grease (pure Teflon in grease form - the most awesome lubricant on the planet).
Anyway, it had a "compliance and restrictions" icon on it, so I looked to see why a $65.00, 2 ounce tube of GREASE would have any restrictions.
It seems as though it can't be shipped ANYWHERE other than the USA... the list is HUGE, and includes even Canada, Britain and Australia!
Look at the list!

I wonder what's so special about it? For that matter, I'm amazed it's not illegal in New York (everything else is).
