[sdiy] Soldering Iron Recomendations

> Is it only selling into the EU where lead-free is a requirement?

Yes. There are still some exemptions, and you'd have to be very unlucky to
be caught out.
But it only takes a hand-held X-ray fluorescence spectrometer to detect lead
from outside the box.
I heard a rumour that those are in use in at least one major European
freight hub.

Cheers,
