Sadly and logically, this is transshipment and if done to evade taxes by obfuscating place of origin, it is illegal. From what I heard, US customs does investigate that too, so it's not just an "illegal in theory but nobody enforces it" kind of thing.

If it means collecting more taxes and finding new excuses to send minorities to the El Salvador concentration camp, it will magically find funding before next week.
The US really likes to shit on the trans community eh?
dint the trump admin said something about that already, trying to bypass and they will know where its come from.
