The US accuses China of orchestrating a 'Great Transshipment Scam' that redirects goods to avoid US tariffs, causing billions in losses. This practice involves rerouting Chinese goods through third countries to disguise their origin and evade trade barriers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face tighter US customs scrutiny if you rely on Chinese supply chains re-routed through third countries. This crackdown opens opportunities for importers who can guarantee transparent origins and compliant sourcing.
