- Thailand and dozens of other US trading partners were placed on a transshipment list by the Trump administration, accused of being potential facilitators of Chinese tariff evasion.
- The alleged evasion is estimated to cost US tariff revenue losses of $19-26 billion a year, according to the Trump administration.
Why it matters: The transshipment list flags dozens of trading partners — not just Thailand — for potential additional US tariffs tied to Chinese supply chain rerouting. The $19-26 billion annual revenue loss figure signals the scale of alleged evasion the administration aims to capture, but the designation could pressure trade relationships with named partners over enforcement of Chinese tariff bypass.
