The ones I bought are around 50g heavier than the original, but lasts 3-4 minutes longer. (In my case, 20 minutes instead of 17). You can hear the drone work a little harder due to the increased weight.

You can’t import or export any lithium batteries anymore. They have to be connected and in off mode to its main device only. If sent on their own, they will be automatically destroyed by the postal services. Germany has a stricter policy on batteries and all flammable components.

Yes it’s worldwide as far as I know. But mainly Western Europe and North America. The law was relaxed slightly in October 2016 that allows them to be shipped in their main devices. The seller will pick up the cost if intercepted.
