The customs people don’t have to let them in. eBay doesn’t have to let people sell them, there’s protection available. You can’t sell copycat watches on eBay, just sayin.

You make good points! But I'm not sure customs will be suspicious of some aluminum machined parts UNLESS given a heads up. And maybe that IS happening.

I read somewhere, on a Corvette site somewhere I think, that the o-ring could very likely get cut on the sharp edges inside the galleys the barbell needs to pass through to get seated. It kind of makes sense, if the o-ring is big enough to fit snugly, it is going to catch on any sharp edge inside. A tight machined fit seems like a better idea.
