Government restrictions

Any given item may be subject to one or more types of government regulatory restriction. Part of this stems from the fact that we purchase items from government surplus auctions that are subject to the regulatory statement in gray background below. Some of the items we have are labeled as restricted for sale only to parties that meet specific qualifications. Other restrictions are based on the type of item, known intended use, buying and using entities and countries of import & final destination

International sales present the greatest regulatory restrictions. Any item is subject to export restriction to any government, organization or person that the US Department of Homeland Security has decided they don’t like. Any item over $2500 selling price is subject to greater scrutiny than lesser items. Any item that can be construed as being of technological, military or terrorist significance is subject to restriction at any value. Any time any DHS staff member gets a hair up their whatever for any reason, they can throw us in prison with out any material cause or provocation. Any transaction that might fall under these restrictions, requires research in an attempt to find any potential problems on a specific case-by case basis. This is costly and time consuming for us to do with no assurance of being right. In most cases, it will be turned over to an export broker.

Most countries also have their own import restrictions. Some of these restrictions are really unique on a country-by-country basis. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to insure that there are no restrictions or prohibitions on bringing any given item into the country of import or final destination. Failure in this regard could result in the buyer loosing the item to his countries customs, financial penalty, imprisonment, or worse.
