Salt in a Wound. Lik-Sang

If Lik-Sang opened a retail outlet and did this, Sony may be able to do something about it within the laws of the countries, it depends. Outside of a few situations usually involving illegal products, data encryption, and a few other issues, it is completely legal, otherwise, to import products from other countries. If I wanted to import a PSP from Japan from Playasia, Sony has no legal right to block that.

Did you read the link I put earlier? "In his ruling yesterday, Judge Michael Fysh found that Lik-Sang - which offered Japanese PSPs to European consumers via its website - was in breach of intellectual property rights. Lik-Sang had claimed that it was operating within the law as the company is based in Hong Kong, and has no trading presence in the UK or European Economic Area. But, as reported by the Financial Times, Judge Fysh ruled that, "The acts of which the complaint is made have, in my view, been perpetrated not in Hong Kong but here in the EEA, and without Sony's consent." Yes websites no matter where they are based can break local laws but the issue is whether or not they had to adhere to it in the first place. Because this ruling went through, Lik-Sang had something to do with the european forum or else they could not have been slapped with that violation of IP ruling. It would have been thrown out. Unless everyone in blind defense of lik sang thinks that the UK courts are just completely inept. Or that they know more about the law or international law than a judge.
