Having dealt with logistics to complicated countries myself in a distant past, I can understand the seller's stance on shipping this abroad. That said, I am in sync with others that are saying you need to find someone that you know and trust that lives in the US to do this transaction for you. It is hard to do the packaging that will survive the trip, as well as deal with the paperwork.
Not being able to do this for you, I can only wish you good luck.

Just heard something like this somewhere? in this document https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/us-export-restrictions-on-oscilloscopes-to-hungary/?action=dlattach;attach=842398 on section 3A002 does not complies to 44Xi characteristics.

No I can't give you documented evidence that it is prohibited and in fact I doubt that it actually is. What I'm stating affirmatively is that I can't be sure that it is NOT prohibited. If it still is, then the regulation is a bit silly at this point. However, read what you linked and look under ADCs of 8 bits or more with 1 billion words per second. These regulations are not easy to interpret or comply with and most sellers just don't want the hassle and risk of dealing with these compliance issues. The easiest path for a seller is to just avoid the issue altogether. I'm not going to link it, so I'll hope that you take me at my word, but I do have a document that clearly indicates that at one time, scopes with greater than 2.5GS/s sample rate required an export license.

I can kind of understand that but with Ebay's Global Shipping Program international shipping is extremely easy for (US based) sellers nowadays. They just send it to a USPS collection point and be done with it. Shipping prices are very reasonable on top of that. I have bought lots of different items from US sellers on Ebay using GSP. Works like a charm.

They state that very clearly in the auction description. In such cases you can ask if they can ship using the Ebay GLobal Shipping program. I have had some success asking sellers who -principally- do not ship abroad to ship it to me anyway. However if the answer is negative you have to respect that.
Finding someone in the same country as the seller and being willing to forward it is your only option. But then again; good deals appear on Ebay all the time so it is better to wait for the next good deal. There are several Lecroy 44XI scopes for sale on Ebay. Even one from China with free shipping to Russia. If I where you I'd try to hammer out a deal with the one from China. Don't be afraid to make lowball offers.

Can you attach these document i need to explore if it is really prohibited. I think that's selling / shipping 1pcs used equip, no need any license.
And the licence needs for only a commercial batch of goods..
I do not want to break any laws, and this is for my clear understanding.
We have here in Russia, the trade mission of all distributors Lecroy, Tek, Agilent,... etc. Anyone can freely buy any scopes they made.
But the prices so high .. That's why, i search on Ebay.

All you need to do is really simple, write down the terms you are willing to do ..
1. You are willing to send the money "FIRST" to the buyer who helps you with max budget for bidding.
2. Once the bidding won, you are willingly to send more money for the shipping it to you.
3. You are willingly to pay the "fee" for the troubles that the helper going through all of these to help you. You're not expecting your helper do it for free right ?
Once you publicly announce this, hopefully this makes really good and helpful people not shy away to step up to help you, that includes bad guys too, but I leave this to you. :P
And NO ... you just can not vaguely or intentionally never mention above terms, while keep nagging and saying ... "Trust me ! Trust me ! I am not a bad guy ... I promise !!!" ... c'mon .... :palm:
Also with your low post count here, people tend not to easily trust new comer, does this make any sense ?
And yes, I have couple friends that I made here in this forum alone, that already helped me in the past on buying stuffs from ebay as I don't live in US, more than once.
Kids these days ... :palm:
