If I have taken anything from this thread it is that McMaster Carr is doing due diligence to abide by the rules. Google trans shipping, IEEPA, OFAC, etc, etc. There are a ton of rules and regulations that companies have to go through when they export certain items from the US to foreign countries. http://www.state.gov/strategictrade/resources/c43182.htm As far as the comment about them having no problem doing business with larger companies like Fastenal, of course they will because Fastenal is a legitimate company with huge purchasing power. They make it worth it to MMC to jump through the hoops to sell to them. Filling out paperwork and obtaining export licenses is expensive and time consuming. I understand why they wouldn't want to do it for small orders the are billed to one country and shipped to another.

You are just plain wrong! @zeg has a much better understanding of US export rules than you do. As @zeg explained, shipping to a foreign national at a US address is an export as far as the regulations are concerned.
The overhead involved with export regulations is enormous. While working in the supply chain organization of a large US based international corporation, I had to go thru at least annual training on export regulations. If you haven't been thru such training, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Found the thread in the "New Posts" search ('cause someone revived a necro thread), and neglected to check the date on the post I replied to. I can't be the only one who's ever done that.
