Foreign manufacturers also have to modify products
just for the US market (or decide that maybe it's

How so? I can't think of an industry that does this other than to make a product specifically for measuring, like tape measures.
A bigger trade issue is differing national standards, such as making left-side-driver versions of vehicles for those countries that drive on the right (much of the world that doesn't speak English or Japanese).
BTW, did anybody get that "Boeing 767 ran out of fuel midair" story link to work?
