The 捆绑SM社区 Community frequently requires the export of certain goods to the US and other countries for a variety of reasons (i.e. donation, repair, research collaboration, etc.).

As each country has their own importation regulations resulting in complicated procedures and paperwork, we suggest contacting 捆绑SM社区's customs broker who will assist you with the process and paperwork.
