Does anyone know about permissions for posting live spiders abroad from the US?
Is it illegal?

According to

all spiders are nonmailable.

non-mailable VIA USPS correct (from my understanding, however I am not an american, and thus don't know the particulars)

Other overnight deliverers will ship them (i think)
