With the huge differences in per-country tariff, there seems to be a large incentive to reroute and relabel imports. E.g., build a bike frame in China, export it to a sister company in Japan, and export it to the US from there, claiming production in Japan. How effective are existing controls against that? (And what are they even, I'm ignorant.)

This assumes the difference in tariff stays consistent while you are setting up your multinational supply chain. The truth is that nobody has any idea what Trump will say tomorrow, never mind next quarter.

I'm trying to figure out what the real story is.

When I read this I wonder if everything is a negotiating tactic:

"Trading partners have repeatedly blocked multilateral and plurilateral solutions, including in the context of new rounds of tariff negotiations and efforts to discipline non-tariff barriers."
