Meaghan points out the growing Kinder Surprise Eggs menace from the Great White North:

For years, Americans who returned from Kinder lands supported a small market here in the illegal eggs, and the feds were prompted to make periodic crackdowns against importers, often ethnic food shops. But in the past year or so, scofflaws have risen to a new level of Internet-fueled defiance, touching off a lucrative Kinder boom. Web sellers buy the candies—which are the size of a hen’s egg, with milk chocolate on the outside, white chocolate on the inside—and charge from 80 cents to $2 or more per egg.

“Kinders Shipped to Anywhere in the World!” screams one new Web site. “Your Search Is Finally Over,” says another.

Jim MacKenzie began selling the eggs here six months ago via his kinder-eggs .com site and says he lives “comfortably” off his U.S. profits. He won’t say what those are but says he has 3,600 customers in his e-mail address book, and has sent as many as 100 cases a day—2,400 eggs a day—in cases priced at $22.95. (Fundraisers get a break: $19 a case). Mr. MacKenzie, a Canadian from Delta, British Columbia, hires extra help at Christmas and Easter to do packing.

I trust that a crack team of Department of Justice lawyers are preparing the extradition request as I write. I mean this could not be more blatent:

I Do Not Ship Worldwide – USA Customers Only Please!
If you want just toys I will ship worldwide but the prices apply to US destinations only.
