Enforcing the Do Not Call list from other than US telemarketers is covered in the Do Not Call legislation. A call from outside the US will not necessarily be blocked, but the parent company selling the product as well as any vendor involved in delivering that phone call is responsible for that call.
That is, a US company involved in any way, shape or form with the delivery of that phone call may be fined as defined by the legislation. Just because the phone call originates outside of the US does not let any US corporation get around the Law.
Also, realize that many states have their own Do Not Call lists and the legislation behind the state list may be different than the Fed. list.
If you haven't seen what all the specifics are, I encourage you to look at donotcall.gov to get the facts. There is a grace period from the time you register your phone # and there are exceptions which is all explained at donotcall.gov. Additionally, you may want to look at your state governments homepage to see if it has its own list.
