no excuse is too broad. If country X holds me liable under their law for selling goods in country X†, then I am either going to have to pay someone to understand that liability and quantify the expected variable cost, or just guess at it and hope. If country X is a relatively small market for me those fixed costs amortized over the sales are going to be noticeable even if the risk per sale isn't higher than my home country. ␄ † Are they going to arrest me and keep me in jail when I come to speak at a conference? Are they going to nab me when a connecting flight lands on their soil and put me in jail? Are they going to enter a massive default judgement against me if I don't hire a defense each time someone files a claim? Can they collect those?
