In laymen terms all the fun stuff is banned for export.
Pretty well versed on ITAR laws from importing optics, rifle parts, guns, ect (Aimpoints, to AR uppers) and the permit process. Wouldn't eff with US border guards (made that mistake before back in the day.)

I have a good broker in Washington for importation, just tough when companies don't accept Canadian credit cards instead of trusting someone else with thousands of dollars.

No such thing as banned, just have to throw enough money at it.
