I think one has to consider as a guiding principle the idea that imported goods are hugely expensive, but that local manufacture isn't done because... well, the Empire tells people not to, or something. That's the core impossibility.
Actually, the core impossibility is that people apparently spend vast amounts of money building factories for obsolete goods. If you have enough money to build a factory for TL 7 goods, you have enough money to either import higher TL goods that are both better and cheaper, or build a factory for higher TL goods.
