That’s not a problem. That’s just a contract and (potentially) a lawsuit, depending on which network claims that traversal would support deluxe service. If you can’t trust your ISP - from whom you buy deluxe service - to contract the correct service out to parties that honor the tags, then you’ve chosen poorly.

I.e., that isn’t a protocol problem.

Direct or subcontract - at some point, if you don’t have that relationship with a peer, you can’t offer that as a transit.
