should reconsider...

It would be quite reasonable to impose a per-country charge based on the
incremental cost of making products for that country, i.e. buying copies of
non-free mandatory national standards, complying with these regulations,
extra product testing services / approvals / bribes legally required to
sell in a given market. It doesn't make sense for the customers who
elected sensible governments to be paying more than their fair share to
satisfy bizarre requests from the less-wisely-elected governments. You
might want to offer a 10-year warranty (from date of purchase) on the PbSn
version and a 6 month warranty (from date of manufacture, not purchase) on
the RoHS version, until proven that this does not reflect the inherent
reliability.
