I think I may have posted this a while back, but this is how I got around the laws stopping you purchasing higher wattage Green Lasers on E-Bay...

I purchase a really cheap laser pointer with the larger penlike housing rather than the very thin ones often used in red lasers.. Mine was a red laser but had the fat pen sytle housing.

I then searched E-Bay for 50mw green laser inserts and purchased a couple of these at very very cheap prices as you will find. The items arrived in Australia as they do not operate and are considered a spare part or Electronic part.

I then removed the laser insert from my cheap laser pen and replaced it with the 50mw insert I purchased from E-Bay... Now I have a nice bright laser and as a member of the ASSA I am able to use it in SA. Bit of messing around, but I ended up with a couple of them for around $45 a unit. I have had them for a while now and use one of them for scope alignment.. No more bending the back to look through a telrad...

Hope my comments assist others..
