I wanted to buy a crappy 5 dollar scope from China on eBay. Apparently they have it listed as for airguns but I want to try it on my .22.
When I clicked buy it now I got this message here.
"It appears this item is restricted for export by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR, Parts 120-130) or the Department of Commerce under the Bureau of Industry (BIS) and Security Export Administration Regulations, EAR (15 CFR, Parts 730-774). ITAR restricted items require an export license granted from the DOS Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) prior to export. EAR restricted items may or may not require a license, depending on the end user and the ultimate country of destination.
Directing the seller to export without complying with the regulatory licensing and documentation requirements is a violation of United States law. Please consult DDTC’S website at ww.pmddtc.state.gov and BIS’S website at www.bis.doc.gov for more guidance. Also, please refer to eBay’s Military Items Policy for additional information."
It allows me to continue with the purchase as normal.
From what I read on that it seems it's unlawful to export. But I'm trying to import this scope.
Do I need to worry about breaking the law if I buy this?
