Politics aside, I wonder how you would technically implement something like that. For most practical intents and purposes, goods and services flow freely inside the EU. If your company has a legal body in say both Spain and Poland, can it procure the chips? Once it has the chips, it can simply ship them to Poland, no questions asked. What if a Spanish company buys chips, then a Polish company acquires them? Etc, I don't really see what a feasible implementation of this idea would look like.

Rogue agents will likely be costly to their home countries so countries will have an incentive to prevent rule breaking. It's like stealing an apple from a shop, sure you can do it a few times but eventually you will be arrested.

If the US target only a single state of the EU and the results are complicated, then this is a really weird comparison. Imagine the EU would restrict some arbitary good from reaching Texas. What would be the likely reaction? Now the EU is not as united as the US, but it went a long way already. Same border, same jurisdiction mostly.
