Tariff Engineering

Not a civil engineer, not an electrical engineer, a tariff engineer.

This isn’t about designing bridges or circuits; it’s about structuring imports to minimize duties.

Dolls without heads are shipped from Mexico to the U.S. to avoid being classified as a finished product.

Shrimp from Thailand—imported raw, then cooked domestically to avoid duties on processed seafood.

Bicycles imported from Taiwan without seats to fall under a different, lower-tariff category.

The games continue, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
