The 10% in value does not account about the fraction of a final American product that consists of parts or raw materials imported from elsewhere.

Many of the best known American products, e.g. computers, are only assembled in USA from imported parts.

If the imports from certain countries would be completely interrupted, it is unknown how much of that US manufacturing would be able to continue.
