Have often thought as Skunks we should have a trust system where if someone is travelling to the US, they can be sent 2-3 small items to deliver when back. Of course the courier would get something, maybe an amazon gift card, or something of the sort. It would round-robin so everyone gets a chance. There would of course be limitations to size and weight, and if customs finds the item, then the buyer is liable for any taxes charged. etc etc Just an idea.

Denis, Bought through US address and then it was hand delivered. You could consider that as we figure out what we may or may not be delivered directly.
