I don't think we can blame businesses in other countries for doing what we ask them to do. It is surely up to us to know our own laws. However if they knew about the ban they should have discussed it with you, because if the US customs had found the sporran, I think they would have blamed you as the importer for it coming into the country.

To get back to the thread - there must be some disagreement in the European community about the ban as it is only 4 countries banning seal products.
