Is there a limit to the regulation you can impose on them?

(This applies to manufacturing only.)

So it depends, a tariff is on the upper end of the scale of punishment.

Their competitors can either increase their prices or lower their prices to gain market share when a domestic competitor is fined and/or tariffed, as we have already discussed.

I agree that regulations can increase the price of a product, but it is my contention that corporation love those regulations because small start ups can never meet those regulations and it keeps the "riff raff' out.

Do you mean when foreign competitors are fined/tariffed?

Much like tariffs, excessive regulations help corporations and government while harming consumers and smaller competitors.
