Smuggling has always been profitable.

People don't ship out of the US because it's genuinely difficult to
keep track of all the legal aspects that might apply.  Oh, you can
get away with for an occasional personal shipment or something that
might be considered "gifts", or that is well under the limits, goods,
and destinations where the law starts to take notice.  But start to
do "export" as part of an identifiable business and you'll need to
either have your own lawyers, or rely on the lawyers of UPS/etc (and
pay their high rates.)  "Customs" is only the beginning.

(I remember I time I took some parts and EPROMS with new software up
to Canada, in blissful ignorance of any special requirements.  Cisco
sent someone after me to deliver the appropriate paperwork WHILE I
WAS ON THE PLANE waiting to take off...  Oops.)
