US President Donald Trump has announced a plan to impose an additional 40% tariff on products that are “transshipped” through another country, primarily from China. This move aims to prevent goods from avoiding US duties by passing through other countries.

The US government has yet to provide a detailed explanation of what constitutes “transshipped” goods or how it will be enforced.
