Is my Finnish PRO membership enough for Taxi?

I'm a member of both Teosto and Gramex here in Finland but do I have to sign up to an American PRO also?

From a listing I'm currently producing music for (indie/alternative rock):

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumental Cues you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with any other Companies or Catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You'll get 100% of the Writer's Share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization for this company to include your music in their catalog.

Am I all set to submit for this?

No need to sign up for an American PRO, as far as I know, as you're already affiliated with a Finnish PRO. I'm only affiliated with the Dutch PRO, and have never had the need to sign up for anything else.

I would agree that you're all set. I think this info on reciprocal agreements answers your question....

Thank you! I already suspected that being a member of several PRO's would cause unnecessary overlap.
