I'd suggest buying a powerful laser from someone in the States and offering to pay for two parcels being sent, one the host and the other the internals and reassemble it yourself here.
I haven't been on LPF in years and the last few lasers I bought were probably 2 months into the ban they put in in 2008.
I don't see why the reassemble method wouldn't work though, it's how I got my BB gun from my brother in NY yonks ago lol
