I shipped a package to Spain and it has been returned because "Failed To
Meet Export Regulations and Name Matches Denied Party/Entity". After I lifted
the green postal sticker I was able to see that the buyer's name had been
circled with a red wax pencil. I took the package to my local USPS depot and
asked what I did wrong, how I can correct the issue, future reference info and
was told that it had to do with the recipient and not the customs deceleration
(small electronics for toys, no batteries).
Considering the fact that this buyer's name is probably one of the most common
in Spain, think David Smith, I'm not sure if that is true. Can someone out
there give me a little perspective? Considering this is my 3rd returned international
package in 3 months I'm getting a little paranoid and considering turning
off international shipping altogether. (First was to Venezuela for prohibited
shipping list, 2nd was this same package for lack of description on customs deceleration.)

Was there VAT collected by BrickLink? (Should be if the order (without shipping)
was below €150.)
Did you provide BrickLink’s IOSS number electronically?
Otherwise, “name matches denied party/entity” is of course not only about matching
“David Smith,” it also matches the address
So maybe this person can’t import electronics.
I absolutely included the IOSS #. I'm extremely paranoid about it after missing
it once.

From what I'm seeing if you search that exact phase, and even check recent
posts on forums etc, it really sounds like their name/address is flagged on the
"do not export to" list. Hard to say if it's a fluke/error, but it's
a pretty serious flag to get for a return it seems.
"Denied or restricted parties are persons, entities, or vessels that have
violated export regulations or have been deemed a threat to national security.
Governments (such as the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Switzerland), as well as intergovernmental
and supranational organizations (such as the United Nations and European Union),
all maintain different lists of these parties and have prohibitions on transactions
with them. Further complicating matters, the information comes in different forms
and is updated constantly."

If that’s the case, then any inbound shipments might be returned. I’ve no clue
if the boundary is the receiving country or the EU. BL administration might need
to know about this, as it seems that some buyers cannot place orders beyond their
own borders (or customs trading area).
