Dude, for things like this you can't just apply Wikipedia knowledge. It's really not enough. Section 78dd–1 is what it looks like in law. Read Section 78dd–1 (b).

> (b)Exception for routine governmental action Subsections (a) and (g) shall not apply to any facilitating or expediting payment to a foreign official, political party, or party official the purpose of which is to expedite or to secure the performance of a routine governmental action by a foreign official, political party, or party official.
