The new law is completely absurd because in my earlier example there is absolutely no reprecussions for the japanese merchant not following EU law. They operate in japan and must operate until japenese laws.

They could garnish your assets in the US and they could arrest you when you travel to the USA if that scenario becomes reality. They have arrested a lot of bank employees just because they were Swiss bankers in 2010.
However, it does not look like the US is going to introduce a sales tax anytime soon.
