Curious as to the distinction.  Could it be because the lobsters would
be shipped live and beef is not live?  If so, could someone import a
live steer?

In seriousness, we once were gifted with a $100 gift card for Maine
lobsters from a particular company.  Turned out that the various
packages they put together cost up to twice that amount for the most
part.  And then they wanted more to ship them from Maine to Maryland
than it would cost us to go to a local store and buy equivalent
lobsters.  Sort of like ordering from Omaha beef if you know who that
is.  It was also true that a web search turned up other Maine companies
who had deals costing 1/4 as much.
