The materials are prohibited from re-export to most other countries under
US laws that are similar to those for "munitions". Canada and the US are
under the same umbrella when it comes to that sort of thing.

And, according to Steve Ciarcia, the materials are also quite expensive
to produce, so the shipping cost is immaterial. I don't know why they
exclude Quebec, maybe because of lottery rules or because they don't want
to have to bother with some other provincial laws they may have.
