As far as US is concerned, the FAA instructions to air carriers http://lmgtfy.com/?q=faa+liquid+nitrogen&l=1 clearly state that dry shippers are OK as long as there is no residual liquid. I assume that if you are flying from Europe to the US, similar lack of restrictions should be in place in the country of origin and all stops along the way. Naturally, the TSA personnel may be not so friendly to the scary you-know-what looking like item http://xkcd.com/651/ so perhaps printing out FAA advisory and some dry shipper disclaimer from the manufacturer could be helpful.
