Another way of putting it is, who's responsible for ensuring that it's legal to sell the product to the buyer?

If the buyer doesn't pay the customs, I think they just keep the item there, but I'm not really sure. I see what you mean about the legal issue, but I think in most coutries importing a small quantity of any non-illegal product (eg drugs) for personal use is not illegal as long as customs are paid. I may be wrong of course, I'm using logic instead of actual knowledge on the issue
