[sdiy] Latvian export control issues

[Roman]

Maybe it has something to do with EU sanctions on Russia. Semiconductors are banned and there are known cases of 3rd parties reseling sanctioned products of all kinds to Russia.
I never heard a word about it to be any concern when I bought from them a month ago. But I'm in EU, have a website and they know me for years.
FWIW Thonk bulk prices are not that far from direct sale prices and you also must consider expensive Alfa shipping. OTOH Thonk barely has anything from Alfa now. How many you want and what?
