Being that I am very familiar with R2's certifications and requirements, there is nothing to prohibit a company from doing business "overseas". In fact the notion that a company as large as SIMS Metal management or Waste management one of which I'm pretty certain you've contracted with, could function on a day to day basis without filling and shipping containers is ridiculous. R2 doesn't even prohibit shipping e-waste to developing countries.
