If someone orders something that is illegal for them to possess, the seller should refuse to send it to them. Any other system could only exist to optimize for the number of arrests cops get to make.

That would require every sender everywhere to be aware of every legal requirement everywhere, or at least to every country / state they service.
I mean, if you're selling chemicals, you should have a cursory awareness of the laws in the countries you ship to. And you should clearly mark what it is that is being shipped, so that if you miss something, it'll be flagged by customs.
But governments of the world have a DIS-incentive to actually stop illegal activity before the fact, they want illegal activity to happen so they can swoop in and score points with the public by showing off how many criminals they brought to justice.
