The problem is in the way each country writes
their import laws.
.
Some regulations have to do with the safety of the carrier (HAZMAT). eg. Dry ice (CO2) is very limited in how much can be used in packages shipped by Air because the gas build-up can kill the workers in the hold.
Some were just stupidly written
and allow, as you pointed out, completed product to be shipped, but not a repair part for that product.
FedEx has a telephone sized book for their drivers to help them and their clients, with the complex customs rules of individual countries.
Code something wrong and it sits in Customs or needs 10 additional documents to "clear". The secret is to find the "magic" code to use without lying (a No-No
that will get a shipper on the
watch list ) that will allow your goods to Zip right through.
