A few years ago I sold a steering wheel and adapter from my 914 to a fellow in Canada. UPS had all the forms on their website and I did them all. The hassle came from US customs, not sure why, and they wanted to know if I had the "import" paperwork on the wheel since it was made in Italy? I noted it was made in 1970 give or take a year and I was probably the 5th or 6th owner and had no idea since it was probably originally purchased from a car accessory shop anyways. The lady said "well okay I guess it is okay" and approved the shipping. I have no idea why OUR customs should give a damn but I decided to not ever ship out of the county again.

Don't feel bad as we get that all the time when buying a gun, parts or ammo and wanting it shipped to CA. Some dealers will not even ship muzzle loaders to you or will want to use a FFL even though not needed!
