However, it's quite reasonable to prevent business import of goods from abroad.

Why is it reasonable? They aren't counterfeit. They weren't produced in violation of copyright. They aren't dangerous. They aren't stolen. The only reason to ban their import is to protect the copyright holder's business model.

Whether the business model is desirable or not is not the question. The question is whether it deserves explicit protection in law, and I believe it does not.
