Tricky DMV question. Export...?

Ok, I have been successfully exporting vehicles from the US to abroad for many year, I have however just hit a road block. I do not have a dealers license and never thought I needed one. I buy cars here in the US (new and used) and title them under my New Hampshire company name. Then I ship them with the title. I was recently told by the DMV that I could no longer do this, I spoke with a lawyer and he seems to think I can because the statue states only about selling cars in NH, and I am not selling anything in NH. I am not selling cars in the US at all. I am buying them, and shipping them. There is no bill of sale in the US, since when the car arrives the title is transferred to the company receiving the vehicle in the foreign county (cars, trucks, tractor trailers, heavy equipment, boats). I do receive a bill of sale when I purchase the vehicle and take the MCO/MSO to get a title. So does anyone know if the limit really is 5 cars to sell in NH. And even if so, does that really apply to me because I am not selling cars. I know many people in other states that do this and many in NH and they have never had a problem.
