Spookily, when I put my old handheld on *bay (ICOM A20), I had 3 different bidders from Italy. One, of course, was successful, and the Global Shipping System took care of stuff and gave me protection of payment etc. But Italy must have same rules from January, so maybe they are fighting the new rules (or could the refugee smugglers need to keep in touch with their boats?.......).
Syria does not have the 833 rule, or?
