Writes Sudha Shenoy: "My computer battery died so I ordered a replacement.It was sent from Singapore to me here in Australia. When I opened the package, the following notice was enclosed (in capital letters):

These commodities, technology and software are licensed by the United States and exported from Singapore in accordance with the U.S. Export Administration regulations for ultimate destination.... Diversion contrary to US law prohibited [emphasis added].

"The US govt governs trade between Singapore & Australia? An Oz resident can't even buy an ordinary computer battery from Singapore -- but the US govt must intervene? Since when?

"This is really too much."
