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.)

If people find hacks around the rules, they will use them if cost effective. I'm reminded of a train that used to shuffle freight a few hundred meters in order to qualify the goods for cheaper 'shipped by rail' taxes. But I can't find the article :-(
