If you don't have a presence in the EU, there is zero liability regarding EU recipients. EU laws do not apply outside of the EU.
That being said, double opt-in is still a good idea regardless of the law.

The fact is, foreign governments help other countries enforce their laws through mutual assistance treaties and other mechanisms all the time. GDPR Article 50 addresses this question directly. So far, the EU’s reach has not been tested, but no doubt data protection authorities are exploring their options on a case-by-case basis. Again, the risk may be low, but it's there.
