I'm sure pretty much anything (provided it's legal to import to the=20
destination country)
can be and are moved arround the world by ship. The risks to the crew from
most cargos is probablly FAR FAR lower on a ship than on a plane due to=20
a combination
of the sheer scale of a cargo ship, the fact weight is less of a factor=20
meaning stuff
can be more heavilly built and the fact there is a ready supply of water=20
for emergency
firefighting and decontamination.

The real question IMO is one of cost. Are the products in question worth=20
the costs
involved (paperwork both by you and the shipping company, proffessional=20
packaging,
