It doesn't look like they ship overseas. But, you could try these:

Brian,
Micro-mark DOES ship overseas, I tried them. Shipping cost is quite high, and in my case there was a HUGE income tax to be paid at customs, too.
However, keep in mind that many chemicals (resin, glues, ... ) are NOT allowed on board aircraft for safety reasons : leaking products might damage the aircraft's integrity.
There's similar "virgin transfer paper" on the European market, though.
