To the best of my knowledge no. It's just that many don't bother to fill 
in all the forms. There is commercial service to be used for that kind 
of stuff, and I got one of those myself.

At one time I even got a fellow time-nut do the work for me. The benefit 
of doing that is naturally you have someone competent to fire it up and 
do basic checks before any expensive shipments.

So, what are you getting?
