I can think of two reasons:
1) Breakage. It is expensive for these companies to absorb the cost of electronics damaged in transit.
2) Encryption. There are a lot of laws about shipping products with certain levels of encryption overseas. Most electronic devices nowadays include strong encryption software/hardware, which make it more challenging to ship overseas.
