However, I'm not sure why Passport batch2 is not yet available from European resellers.
Are they not still at the pre-order phase? I wouldn't expect re-sellers to offer them for sale until they had confirmation from Foundation Devices that their shipment was complete and ready to go.Not sure how they handled it in batch 1, but that was a preorder, too. I believe that resellers just bought / preordered a fixed amount and - well - resold it in their stores.
What kind of delivery fees or customs/import fees would you be looking at to import to the EU from the US? And I presume a PO Box would be out of the question in such a case.
We usually need to pay VAT and import tax if it's above some threshold (like around 100 bucks). Yes, the PO box shipping is a problem when importing stuff.Therefore I made sure to order in a different way.
Never forget!
A bar code rather than a QR code? What is this, the 90s!? Did you find that picture on Geocities? 
The Perl code is actually from adam3us.
