Can I seperate the shipping selection in different countries?

[Yoda]

We are selling shoes in China. Some of the products are only be sold in China, and some of them are sold outside of China. I run into problem now is people all over the world place an order for the China sold products, and put in the delivery address as non-China, then at the end we can not sold it as the products can not be shipped outside of China.

Is there a way I can put some codes in the order-carrier section that if categories 2 and 3, then drop down delivery address will only show China, and category 4 and 5, the drop down delivery address only has Hong Kong, and category 6 and 7, the drop down delivery address only be Japan?

This issue has bothered me a lot and I really don’t know how to write this codes. How are all of the international shops handling this issue? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

one workaround that comes to mind is if you use a combination of the customerRegistration module, and groups
but it adds quite a bit of administrative overhead, you can restrict viewing of categories via customer groups

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/10305/modules/module_customerregistration_management

then create two groups (in addition to 'default') for your china / non-china customers
the default group would have rights to view all categories
but the china / non-china groups would have restricted viewing rights (respective to who can by what)
when a new registration comes in you can then manually add them to the correct group, and remove them from the default group

however, there is no way to prevent them from seeing items in the other category until they register, or if they are logged out

But, PS will error if someone is logged in as a china group member and tries to input a direct URL to an item that they do not have access to.
