You will need to cite which law says so. If a business decides to import books published in Thailand by Thai publishers into the US, does the law prevent them from doing so? And if it does, could not the importer take the US to the WTO for a ruling that this was a trade barrier?

What if an American living in Thailand purchased books in the US, imported them into Thailand and sold them at a profit? Would that also be illegal under this law?
