You can't just take some smartcard and expect it to function as an OpenPGP card,
because the OpenPGP card is a specific application on the card. Think of the
smartcard as a computer, and the OpenPGP application as some piece of software.
Thing is, you don't normally change the software on smartcards like you would
with computers.

The only way to have a different card function as OpenPGP card is by writing
your own firmware(=software), which is hard and likely will require you to sign
a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the manufacturer of the card you are targetting.

I think your only option is to find some distributor that does sell OpenPGP
cards in your area, or somehow get a foreigner to buy one and send it in the
mail or something like that.

HTH,
