As someone affected by the law (I hand paint items and dye fabrics) who has done a LOT of reading it's sadly as broad as it seems. Thankfully I'm in the UK, but it means the US is now out of my market. Anyone in the US cannot sell or buy goods without this testing, no matter who from or to. The problem is that the law is not applied to the seller/buyer, but to the item. Thus it does not matter who or how, but if the item is not tested it is 'hazardous'. As someone above said, they have now allowed a natural materials exemption, but sadly most people sell these items dyed or painted in some fashion, so it doesn't work out that great. Another exemption is 'truely one of a kind' items. So if you asked me to paint a picture of your mum then I wouldn't have to get it tested. However if I offered a line of paintings then even though each one was hand painted and technically unique, it would still need testing done on it. As someone on another site said, 'on February 10th everything has to go in a landfill', which is a shocking image in my opinion.
