    From Amazon.com Help:
    The following items can be shipped to destinations outside the U.S.:

    * books*
    * DVDs
    * music
    * VHS videos

    Additionally, some software, tools, and kitchen items can be shipped to the following countries:

    * France
    * Germany
    * Ireland
    * United Kingdom

    If a software, tools, or kitchen item can be shipped to one of these destinations, this will be noted on the product detail page. These items can be shipped only via Priority International Shipping and are subject to an import fees deposit.

    *Note: Books that require special handling because they are extremely heavy (for example, multi-volume sets) cannot be shipped outside the U.S. If this is the case, it will be noted on the product detail page.

    And another tip: pick the cheapest / slowest delivery option for less chances of being caught for customs in my experience.

    For example I seem to be able to order one kind of external harddrive but not another.

    Maybe the one you aren't able to order is to heavy to ship, possibly?

    Hi

    What about http://www.shopthestates.com/ Amazon will ship to your own address (with them) in the US , they will forward to you at a charge.

    Never used them but other users in Boards did, they might be able to give you some reviews.

    Regards
