Thanks for clarifying. So, when tourists enter the US, do they need permission to leave with souvenirs? I was (falsely?) under the impression that once you purchased something you were able to do with it what you please. So the manufacturer of an item wouldn't be able to stop you from reselling it, domestically or otherwise.

So, when tourists enter the US, do they need permission to leave with souvenirs? It depends on the export restrictions. A couple of decades ago, if your "souvenir" was a device capable of encrypting data with a key larger than a few dozen bits, yes, you would need permission to leave with it.

> So, when tourists enter the US, do they need permission to leave with souvenirs? Yes, though there's almost certainly an exemption for items worth less than $x00 and/or for personal use.
