The White House has published a report titled 'The Great Transshipment Scam,' accusing more than 40 countries — including Brazil, India, Mexico, and members of the European Union — of routing Chinese goods through their territories to help Beijing evade steep US tariffs. According to the report, Chinese exporters have increasingly shipped products through third countries since 2018, where minor assembly, repackaging, or relabelling creates the appearance of a different country of origin, costing the US an estimated $28 billion in lost tariff revenue in 2025 alone. No immediate penalties have been announced against the named countries, but the findings raise the prospect of further US tariff hikes against nations Washington deems complicit in undermining its trade policy toward China.
