ITAR, or International Traffic in Arms Regulation. The retailer needs an ITAR permit to sell ITAR restricted items outside of US. Most smaller shops won't bother simply because a) they need to pay to apply for the license(the license fee is related item value) b) they simply won't have the amount of customer to justify the cost. For larger dealers like Brownell or something, they can apply the license for popular items and they can probably be worth it.
The license is specifically related to items themselves, so places may sell some ITAR item but not others....
FYI, ITAR does not only apply to gun or weapon parts, it can apply to IP, design or even specification....
