This statement is true. The FCPA prohibits the bribery of foreign officials to gain or retain business, and this includes payments to foreign sales agents that are intended to influence their decisions. To avoid violating the FCPA, it is recommended that payments to foreign sales agents adhere to customary rates that are typical in the foreign country, and that are not considered excessive or unjustified. This helps to ensure that the payment is reasonable and legitimate, and not a disguised bribe.
