You sure about that? The car is sold here and will ultimately get crushed here. You never know where the paint will end up if it's no longer intact. Then there's recycling issues. They got rid of lead paints for a reason.
I don't know for sure, but just because the car isn't made here doesn't mean our government restrictions don't apply in some way. Just like those kids toys from China with the poisonous paint or whatever...they had to change the paint or stop selling them here.
I don't know enough about international trade laws to really comment on it. What I do know is, of the cars I've owned, none were especially resilient to stone damage. That includes American, Japanese and German cars.
