For those who don't follow the delights of US customs and excise the latest note is that from October 22nd any item of electronic goods (so that'll include locomotives) must have all the valid US approvals (FCC ID etc) or it'll be impounded by their goons.

What does that actually mean?

Stuff shipped to the US, presumably? What is an FCC ID? Does that include second hand stuff, ie are eBay sales implicated?

I did notice upon trying to order something recently that the three shops I've previously used have all stopped shipping internationally (or in one case as good as by making it exorbitant), which I assumed was related to some such nonsense designed to make it harder.
