Customs. This probably isn't important with books, but you do realize that customs doesn't simply return shipments that can't be legally brought into a country? Or maybe some do-I'm not by any means an expert, but I do know that in some cases they seize them instead.
As I said, this probably isn't important with a relatively low-cost item like books, but for high-cost items many companies contract with an in-country wholesaler. The wholesaler is then responsible for getting the shipment thru customs-the wholesaler pays whether the shipment is seized (or simply disappears, as has been known to happen in some countries) or not.
