It is extra-territorial in effect and unlike the US FCPA applies to overseas private transactions.

A courageous comment!
For years now, the US Government which includes the USPS has had a code of ethical conduct which prohibits postal/federal employees from accepting gratuities (including Christmas tips) as a result of executing their official duties ... I don't see it as draconian, or, frankly, as something new.
