The ban has not been lifted. Any spice company, Asian market, or eBay
seller (yes, you can find them there, too) selling them is drawing from
stock prior to -at least- early 2002, probably older. So what you're
buying, essentially, is 2 year-old spice.

I tried ordering from them last month and they said they were out of
stock. I guess it's possible they found a supplier with old stock.
The peppers weren't very numbing.

I've seen sichuan peppercorn infused oil on sale, which would be
better than nothing. (I believe the ban is due to critters in the
peppercorns, which would not make their way into the oil!)
