You can certainly try to play with the rules, but exporters are supposed to certify origin. And it was deemed meaningful enough, for instance, for TRQs following S232 on steel-alu to be set at the MS level, not for the EU as a whole (see e.g. www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/co...)

Indeed. The EU applies à common trade policy, so EU imports are treated the same in all MSs.
But the reverse needs not be true: importing partners can treat MSs differently, not in MFN (by def) nor FTAs, but it is often the case with trade defense instruments.

Competing industrial policies?

Well… If there was any competition, the winner seems rather clear: Chinese surplus in manuf goods trade is now 11% of the world total manuf trade, with coverage ratio increasing in all main branches.
