Yes.

If the Dutch alcohol retailer is going to do business in the US, they are obligated to obey US laws.

To wit: I presume it is illegal for a felon in the Netherlands to purchase a firearm. If a Dutch felon tries to purchase a handgun from an online gun dealer located in the US, the gun dealer still has the obligation to determine whether or not the Dutch buyer is a felon, let alone has the legal right to own the weapon in question. Right?
