Try shipping a scope with a mil-dot reticle to many foreign countries and see what happens
I certainly don't claim to be any kind of authority on international shipping, but I know that our Dept. of State has a list of firearms-related parts that are a no-go for shipping to foreign countries without special permits. It would probably be best to get a copy of of this list before attempting to ship outside of this country.

Be very careful about exporting gun parts of any kind, especially parts related to military arms, ITAR rules apply to export of ANYTHING military, the fines are HUGE if you screw up.

ITAR.
You can't. And you shouldn't.

It is all about ITAR restriction it has nothing to do with whether customs lets the package out. It seems that lately almost all rifle and ammunition components are covered by ITAR laws meaning that they can not be shipped without a license.
It may not make sense but then a lot of things don't. That whole 10 years and $10k sure can out a crimp in your style, imagine having a wife named Bubba for 10 years.
