“The information on this page applies to businesses in the United States.”
Then the information on that page applies only to businesses or individuals operating in the United States.

You should check the applicability of any information on the WSI site to you or your organization. The fact that you have access to such United States-specific information does not mean that such information applies or ever will apply to a country or region outside the United States.
