Good morning Imagine (and everyone)

,
Saw this notice on my Amazon seller page yesterday...then got another from ecommerce bytes newsletter. It doesn't effect sales in the USA, but was wondering if this is going to effect e-cig battery sales internationally...or are ecig
batteries not effected by this ban?
Tried searching the forums a bit around here but didn't see anything....
Here's from Amazon:
USPS Prohibits International Shipment of Lithium
batteries Starting May 16
May 15, 2012
Starting May 16, 2012, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will prohibit all international air shipments of lithium
batteries and products containing lithium batteries, including primary lithium metal or lithium alloy (nonrechargeable) cells and batteries or secondary lithium-ion cells and batteries (rechargeable). Shipments with lithium batteries also will be prohibited to and from APO, FPO, and DPO locations. These restrictions do not apply to shipments within the United States and its territories.
Items that often use lithium power include, but are not limited to: Kindle devices, watches, tablets, video cameras, cameras, GPS devices, MP3 players, smartphones, laptops, portable DVD players, and power drills.....
USPS expects to lift this restriction in early 2013. For more information about the restriction, please visit
DMM Revision: Mailings of Lithium Batteries
And then Ecommerce (

Many online sellers may be surprised to learn that the USPS is banning overseas mailings of electronics that contain lithium batteries. Fast Company broke the news in a piece focusing on how the new policy would negatively impact U.S. troops serving abroad.
"American firms with customers outside the country's borders or people with loved ones serving overseas will have to use private parcel services at higher prices," Fast Company wrote on May 10th. "The news is a headache for USPS employees, military families, and electronic manufacturers and resellers ... but a boon for private delivery firms like UPS, DHL, and FedEx."
The USPS said effective May 16, 2012 and through January 2013, the Postal Service would not accept packages containing lithium batteries and electronic devices containing lithium batteries addressed to international destinations. This includes mail destined to, or from, military destinations including APO (Army Post Office), FPO (Fleet Post Office) and DPO (Diplomatic Post Office) locations.
Note that the change will not apply to packages mailed within the United States on domestic commercial air or ground transportation.
