I ordered 3 Chinese ball screws/nuts on eBay from China (complete with bearings and blocks).

The seller just declared them to be "Bearings" which seem to have some very specific customs rules. Now they are stuck and I have to fill in a bunch of forms for Fedex including the specific type of bearing, seller physical address (no idea), bearing manufacturer (no idea), and a homeland security form with my social security number and other detail. They did not ask for my food preferences and sexual orientation, though.

Is that normal? That should kill the whole China business on eBay....
