Yes
Nathan will give you an option on fan vs. bulb and is also capturing information for those interested via this thread to notify when the link is active.
Thanks much for the support as we continue to work through the details!

Hi Null , thanks for your concern - I haven't been banned as far as I knowI was also concerned at the silence and I did PM one of the mods to discuss further. Its basically as andrewjs18 says that its being looked into. The whole export of fur products business has been touched on in earlier posts several months ago in relation to discussion of a wolf whisker brush. Its the law in the US and there's nothing the DFS crew can do about it.
Its an interesting area the issue of where a product is considered to have been "made" and thereby entitled to label itself as such. It generally has to do with where the preponderance of the cost of manufacture is spent. So if Envy Shave buys badger knots from China at a small price and imports it into the US where he makes a handle and a package and some marketing outlay the cost of the knot is a tiny percentage of the cost of making the brush so it can be labeled as "Made in The USA" and the government will consider it as such and treat it accordingly, i.e., you can't export US made fur products. Its the same approach that allows a company to catch, process and freeze seafood in the South China Sea (or wherever) and then import it to Canada where its put in a package that says "Product of Canada" on it. The box was the biggest cost in the production chain. Makes total sense right?

Marko
Sorry, I did address these questions, but it was told my response was going to be removed until there was a more definite plan in place.
I believe there will be a way to make this happen, that does not involve me. A friend can ship it to you from the US if you can arrange it. My understanding is that this is completely legal if they are not helping you for profit. But I'd want to minimize my involvement. I can certainly ship a brush out to anyone you ask me to.
