These rules and regulations (that we helped write) aren't just on the finished product, but on things like the ethical sourcing of materials and working standards for labourers. The EU just won't let us sell products now or in the future that don't meet these standards, or it puts their own manufacturing industry at a disadvantage. Much like the UK with food standards in this American trade deal.
Still, on the bright side, we might never have to pay VAT or Import Tax on American goods in that case. So that's much cheaper Full Race, Mazworx, Wisefab and similar.
