Excerpt from email:

"Thank you for considering McMaster-Carr for your purchase, but we decline to bid.

Due to the cost of complying with extensive US export regulations, McMaster-Carr accepts international purchases only from our established international customers.

Bit of a shame if you ask me, but I'm sure there are other options available.


EDIT: Looks like Fastenal can ship internationally, and carry the same sizes of dowel pins. Not as cheap though.
