>I have heard of these li-ion restrictions. Do those apply to us shipping to you?
Pretty sure they apply for international shipping from the US. See
349 Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials (Hazard Class 9)
"For domestic and international mailings, primary (nonrechargeable) lithium batteries are prohibited via air transportation if the batteries are shipped without the equipment they operate (individual batteries). In addition, lithium batteries are prohibited in international mailings when they are mailed with the equipment they are intended to operate."
