I think it depends on the shipping method. I've sent hardware to a number
of countries with no problems whatsoever, using the normal ol' postal
service. UPS charges an arm and a leg to ship overseas. They bump orders
by something like $30US simply to process the customs paperwork. (If
you've never filled out customs paperwork, it's about the size of an index
card with maybe 10 lines to fill out at the most. If I could make $30 for
every one I filled out, I'd be tempted to change jobs.)

I use USPS, and if the item is too big, as some countries limit physical size, then the price jumps up quite a bit through DHL, but they are a lot less than UPS or FedEx. One issue to be concerned with is the dept of commerce regulations as to what can go where, but other than that Intl stuff has been pretty simple
