It makes sense when the USA rules are not clear.

The easiest solution for international online retail stores will likely be “We do not ship to the US”. Some rely on US customers but for many stores US is just one of many buyer locations.

Nothing a good reshipper can’t get around. The fees may still happen, but the products will still be US available.
