Hoping a British member can forward a strap to me.

I am having a heck of a time finding a 23/20mm strap and the guy I work with in Viet Nam on customs is not responding. I have found a nice ostrich one in Germany but they are not shipping to the US because of Covid Custom Restrictions. I know Royal Mail International Standard can be pretty reasonable for international shipping rates, Would anyone be willing to receive the strap and forward it on to me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Another member PMed me right after the post and the strap is on the way. For some reason shipping to the US and Australia was not allowed. Thanks again.

I suspect that ostrich leather from certain sources may be banned in the US.

I searched the US Customs site and did not see any bans. The deutschepost site did reference some restrictions due to COVID on US Shipping. My Chinese orders have been delayed since they are searching all packages to make sure medical supplies are not leaving the country. COVID is having effects on international shipping. This is what the vendor's site said,
"Attention:
