I'd make a law requiring all advertising to be produced in said country.

Now companies don't have an excuse for not following national advertising guidelines and gives the local acting community a small boost.

    Add industry self-regulating and user-manual printing standards which include disassembly and reassembly.

    Example Given: You make a router? You have to buy an office to do a teardown on the router and show schematics and performance and submit the required information to an industry run forum (not like a web forum, more like a consortium).

    The foreign company will be forced to set their own firm up to avoid paying the market rates, and if they try to weasel out of it by pulling a Panama-Papers esque operation it will open up the possibility of sueing and fining them or evem outright arresting bad actors.

    Don't make it self regulating, make it actual regulation that you need teardown videos with fru part numbers.

    Yeah but the concept was extracting money FOR the government and not FROM the government. If you're going to add the regulation and also charge them for the whole process then you might as well just tax them more, instead of this whole convoluted plot.

    If they look like business people you are legally obligated to hold them upside down by their ankles and shake any money or vehicles for money out of their pockets and spend it however you want.

    Why do you want to make this happen by annoying people?
