You'd think a company of that size would have lawyers who know about protected regional product names. It's EU thing and you might disagree with it, but you have to comply with laws if you want to do business.

An article on the subject from NPR[1] said:

> Molson Coors Beverage Co., which owns the Miller High Life brand, does not currently export it to the EU, and Belgian customs declined to say who had ordered the beers.

Not sure who ships in 2,352 cans without realizing it could be an issue at the border, but maybe a fan of Do the Right Thing? [2]
