Ship from Canada to Hong Kong

If anyone can give me some advice..


I went to ship my Sub for a trade I am doing with someone in Hong Kong and half of the shipping companys would not ship stating that if the watch passed through the USA they would seize it at customs because only Rolex is allowed to import these watches.


I have never shipped something of this value overseas so I would just like some advice from those of us with experience.
