Can it be done via an executive order or a Customs Service regulation?

An executive order just needs Trump.

A regulation could require more time and publication in the Congressional Register for 90 days and some other approvals, but if it passes, it's good.

Larger Red States can do this at the state level. If they are large enough, it's not worth it to print two boxes. California is probably a non-starter, but maybe Texas.

If a future administration decides to roll it back, they would have some explaining to do.

If it is proposed and looks like it is getting traction, companies may start changing their packaging in front of the regulation.

There is no downside for this, if another country does the same. It's just customer education as to where their product comes from.

The Guerrilla mode is to print a bunch of tasteful and small Chinese flag stickers and go to down at the local box stores, a little bit at a time, without harming the product, focusing on slower moving items first. This may be against some laws 'defacing someone else's property', and if caught, one could get trespassed from the store.
