Homologation
Going back a few pages to the US homologation comments, I'm a former brake homologation engineer and would comment as follows;
The regs are fundanentally different. Any rest of the world data is useless so you need to employ locals.
There are components you have to change which means cartel pricing for which a small European manufacturer is painful.
Septic lawyers are scary and highly prevalent. As you mostly self certify you stand alone, no government agencies in self defence mode.
I wouldn't sell paperclips in California in case someone choked on them. CCM would be wise to fill other markets first.
