We had a friend in the US try and order some blue nitrile for us, and even then they wouldn't ship it across the border.
From what I recall they got busted under the Patriot Act for selling something that has 5 million and one different uses (with only one of them being dangerous)to people in the Persian Gulf.

After that they must have decided it was easier to not deal with any new foreigners. From what I understand they are very rigid in this policy, even sometimes refusing to ship orders that look like they're headed to a border town to be brought over into Canada.
