What is the new deal with me shipping my own camera to Korea? Is there some new trade restriction here? Ugh?

Question

I tried to ship my camera to myself (I got it replaced after the one here broke) and FedEx said that I needed a release document from the Korean photography association! I know the Koreans like to throw up trade restrictions to protect jobs (Yeah... that works well...) but I am just trying to ship my own camera to myself! I know what I have to do, I just don't know why. Any ideas what's going on?

Answer 1

pissed off at Kodak about something? welcome to the world postal system. Korea isn't the only place with weird restrictions. my husband is from out of the country and his mom is not allowed to send him his own stuff in the mail to the U.S.
