articles concerned from the United States:


unless, after considering the effect of such exclusion upon the

third party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of 
articles potentially subject to the recommended exclusion order and/or 
a cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
    (v) explain how the limited exclusion order and cease and desist 
orders would impact consumers in the United States.
