Select Products to Ship to Default Country Only

   This is just a "nice to have" thing that would avoid having to write some difficult emails that always upset customers whose first language isn't English.

There are a few products I sell which are okay to ship within the UK, but which Air Transport Regulations list as prohibited to ship by air.  The fine starts at £30,000 and goes up from there, which is a good incentive to get it right !

What I'm hoping for (or does something exist already to do this ?) is to be able to add a property to a product, for example as a check-box in options, or a piece of code in the button, that sets the product so that it can be bought only if the customer is in the UK.

I think this would also be useful for products which are just too delicate for international shipment, or are banned by certain countries (e.g. DVD's and magazines to Saudi Arabia).

	If you use the product manager then in the Product Manager go to Add/Edit Categories and make a new category. Then click on Edit alonside this category and you have the option to make the products in this category available only to selected locations.
