2257 Regs for OFfshore companies

[besterman]

Do you have to comply with 2257 if you are located in an offshore country such as Nevis or Eastern Europe, etc..and also if you are not a us citizen?

Does having us visitors count as doing business in the USA since you can't really control on the Web if someone from the US wants to visit a website in another country, that is the country's job to control (i.e. like China).

Bump for an intresting question because i have noticed some companies who are really owned by americans using offshore companies for 2257 reasons. I think when you do incorporate in certain countries kind of looks like to me what are you trying to hide.

some people do host/process outside the US ... just in case you didn't know.

So the answer is NOT Yes, but IT DEPENDS....
