Labor will be marginally more expensive in the USA. Transportation will be less. Some things more, some things less-like energy. I would say on average 8% more for made in the USA using the auto industry for a benchmark, the cost of UNION labor per vehicle made in the USA is 8% of retail price. IMO car manufacturing is a good indicator and model for manufacturing overall. Then it's not 20%, it's more like 12%.

Then it's not 20%, it's more like 12%12% on top of whatever profit margin they have now minus the slave labor which is probably 2-3% out of the standard 10% profit margin..
