Dasung manufactures in china and Mexico. So from china that $700 becomes, what? $1500? But from Mexico? What’s the tariff with Mexico today, May 9, 2025, 9:28 gmt-6?
Due to "tariff engineering" it can be shipped to the U.S. via Mexico for no additional tariffs.
In a nutshell, this would involve shipping any products manufactured in China to the Mexican facility for "remanufacturing."
Very risky in normal times, but since DOGE fired a bunch of Customs employees and cut their budget, Customs doesn't have the manpower to police tariff violations like this (which requires detail reviewing the history of every item) so it's effectively a de minimis risk tactic. Ironic, given that the President's budget is dependent on enforcing tariffs...
