gin is being determined under this section.

(A) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in 
subparagraph (B), a textile or apparel good 
that is not an originating good because certain 
fibers or yarns used in the production of the 
component of the good that determines the tar-
iff classification of the good do not undergo an
person in the United States undermine the purpose 
of the tort laws of the United States. 
(6) The difficulty of applying the tort laws of 
the United States to foreign manufacturers and pro-
ducers puts United States manufacturers and pro-
ducers at a competitive disadvantage because United 
States manufacturers and producers must— 
(A) abide by common law and statutory 
safety standards; and 
(B) invest substantial resources to ensure 
that they do so. 
(7) Foreign manufacturers and producers can 
avoid the expenses necessary to make their products 
safe if they know that they will not be held liable for 
violations of United States product safety laws. 
(8) Businesses in the United States undertake 
numerous commercial relationships with foreign 
manufacturers, exposing the businesses to additional 
tort liability when foreign manufacturers or pro-
ducers evade United States courts. 
(9) Businesses in the United States engaged in 
commercial relationships with foreign manufacturers 
or producers often cannot vindicate their contractual 
rights if such manufacturers or producers seek to 
avoid responsibility in United States courts.
