Transshipment scam or efficient supply chain? How U.S. firms turn it into profit?

U.S. companies are taking advantage of a loophole in international trade laws by importing pumps and components from India, which are then resold to American consumers. This practice, known as transshipment, allows U.S. firms to avoid paying higher tariffs on Chinese-made goods. By routing goods through India, companies can save money and increase their profit margins. This development has significant implications for the U.S. trade balance and the global supply chain.
