Hi,

As a follow-up to this, when I placed an order with Mouser in the U.K. 
(which is also my country of residence) for a MinnowBoard Max a few days ago 
they sent me a "Customer End-User Certificate" with my order confirmation, 
which they asked me to complete and return to them so that they could 
continue processing my order.

When I queried the reason for this I was advised that a similar form has to 
be completed by all purchasers of this item, even those who actually reside 
in the U.S.A. One of the questions actually asks for the ultimate 
destination of the product, as presumably these could easily be exported by 
a customer to virtually anywhere.

They did explain that this is a U.S. government requirement, which is 
perhaps understandable in the current climate!

Regards,

David
