It may be illegal between some countries, but I can buy a sourdough
starter (active or dried) from Europe legally on eBay.

This one is from New Zealand (I'm in the USA):

And I'm sure there are others.

Some people dry theirs and use regular mail to send it inside a
plastic bag inside a sturdy envelope.

If you ever send any that way, I would include a note inside the
envelope about the contents of the bag.
