US Plans AI System to Detect China Tariff Evasion via Over 40 Countries
The Trump administration has identified over 40 countries, including India, the European Union, Mexico, and Canada, as part of a "shadow transshipment network" that helps China evade US tariffs by routing goods through third countries. A White House report led by trade adviser Peter Navarro estimates illegal transshipments worth between $19 billion and $75 billion annually. To address this, the US plans to deploy artificial intelligence to detect and prevent tariff evasion, targeting practices like relabeling and minor processing in third countries.
