Could you name any such countries to which a private US citizen would 
actually be *likely* to make a shipment?

I regularly ship "AMATEUR RADIO PARTS" - truthfully declared on the 
Customs form - to a wide range of countries (including India and even 
distant Alaska :-) without any problems.

There are often import taxes to be paid, but that is a different issue. 
In 12 years and almost 2000 shipments I have never had a single report 
that the import of "AMATEUR RADIO PARTS" was not legal.
