Interchange currently doesn't address this, but like just about anything
else, it can be done. You may need the help of one of the compentent
consultants on this list. I would suggest you consider a "Choose your
country" front door to the site - many companies that do business in
multiple countries constrain things in this manner. Obviously the data for
your products is going to expand somewhat, with lists of included/excluded
countries and regional price adjustments. It is not a huge project, but it
will take a bit of doing.
