Just keep in mind, that could block legit users who are outside the country. One case being someone traveling and wanting to buy something to deliver home. Another case being a non-resident wanting to buy something to send to family in the service zone.

I'm not saying don't block, just saying be aware of the unintended blocks and weigh them.

Also consider tourists outside of their home country. If, eg I'm in Indonesia when Black Friday hits and I'm trying to buy things back home and the site is blocked; shit. I mean, personally I can just use my house as as a VPJ exit node thanks to Tailscale, but most people aren't technical enough to do that.
