That might mean Avex fears copyright consequences for itself and they interpret JASRAC's rules harshly. Japanese firms need to pay royalties to local copyright organizations if they sell music to other countries, which would mean Avex hasn't done that. If that's true, we can hope other labels aren't as stupid.

Other companies don't seem to have this ban though, so this reason doesn't really make sense to me

My last few orders were Avex artists - BoA, DAI & Kumi and they all came from YesAsia fine.

It's not just anime. CDJapan didn't ship EXO's albums abroad, and I've heard about other artists too but I don't remember which ones. I'm not sure how YesAsia deals with it though, maybe they don't care about requests from avex lol
Edit: I just researched other artists whose albums CDJapan doesn't ship abroad. I have no idea if all of them are avex or not. TVXQ, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Sandaime J Soul Brothers (EXILE TRIBE), BIGBANG, Generations (EXILE TRIBE), Daichi Miura, Maria Nishiuchi, Fairies, EXILE. And some of those releases don't come with a DVD
