Jenny et al,
I have just received much the same response from Henry Posner. Looks
like we are caught between Homeland Security or some such agency and
the manufacturers.
Mr Posner also included this comment in his message to me "That said,
there are manufacturer restrictions we will continue to abide by."
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

This is a new and temporary situation. We received some communication
from some portion of the US government and apparently our initial
reaction was overly cautious, particularly with regards to binocs and
spotting scopes. We expect to have this resolved early in 2012. We
regret this TEMPORARY inconvenience.

Henry,
I understand that you have said that:
". In some cases the manufacturer or their licensed US distributor
limits where we may
ship their product"
However, I have just attempted find any 10x binoculars on your web
site which can be shipped to Australia. I was unable to find any model
in any price range in any brand.
Below is a list of ALL the currently stocked 10x binoculars you sell
in the price range $250 to $2,000 plus examples of all brands in the
price range <$250
That is a total of 86 models from all your brands. None of these can
be shipped to Australia.
It appears as if you are no longer shipping any binoculars in any
brand to Australia.
I have been unable to find any.
It seems that I will have to buy from Adorama as they are still
shipping binoculars to Australia.
Regards,
