   Considering the largest market for those products is the West,   
   particularly the United States, it would be possible to bring back   
   manufacturing by blocking sales of products that don't have a presence   
   in North America. They might not return all their manufacturing to the   
   West, but whatever is sold here would have to be made here. You can sell   
   it as an "environmental measure," explaining that you're trying avoid   
   intercontinental freight.
