Sales by others into those territories from other countries, whether by the Internet or otherwise, violate the rights of those distributors and interfere with our contractual relations with them, as well as with our respective rights for prospective economic advantage. Such sales, which frequently involve false declarations and illegal shipment of flammable materials via U.S. mail, violate not only U.S. Customs and U.S. Postal Service laws, but also the import laws of the country of destination. Such actions may subject both sellers and purchasers to criminal sanctions, fines, and confiscation.
