These sort of rules exist in order to dogpile charges.

Say there is some guy you dislike who sells unlicensed icecreams. You open an
investigation and start digging up dirt. It turns out his icecream refrigerator
was built using old (outdated) regulations and in addition he has an account
with a dropbox-like provider from a banned country, where he uploads his billing
and accounting docs. Suddenly you have soooo much more material to jail this
guy, for soooo much longer than just selling icecreams without a local license.
