If company A produces 500,000 widget per year and pays $1,000,000 in annul EPA/OSHA regulation fees. The retail price per widget is $200.00. The cost to the consumer for those regulation is $1,000,000/ 500,000 = $2.00 per unit.

So the consumer is paying 1% more. Offshore and the retail price is still $200.00 but the middle men pockets the difference. See how it works?
