MSDS Sheets For Shipping Speakers Internationally?


Hello,

I purchased a pair of speakers from a seller overseas who is getting grief from the shipping company over needing MSDS certification for them.  The speakers are Harbeth.  The seller contacted Harbeth about this and was told that no such certificate has ever been required for their speakers.  
Anyone ever experience this?  What would you do to resolve it?

Thanks!

I bought a pair of Focal Sopra No2 speakers from France when they were a brand new model.  They have beryllium tweeters, and I'm guessing the EU has regulations about notifying customers when a product contains potentially hazardous materials, with warnings not to touch the drivers with bare hands.
I jokingly asked my dealer if I should refrain from listening at high volumes, that it might vaporize the beryllium, funny thing, he thought I was serious!
