There could be protectionist duties. These are sometimes justified due to the cost of loosing jobs. A trade-off. I'm just not sure of relevance of the cost of asian versus african shirts in the U.S. It's not just shipping containers, but the rest of the transport network, how many trucks are available, the retail networks, and the middle-men to facilitate the trade, the different labor and cost of living, currency exchange rates, regulatory stability, etc. Seems like there are a lot of confounding variables and it would be difficult to draw on what t-shirts currently cost in the U.S.
