When US President donald trump announced tariffs on countries around the world on april 2, the world's two economic superpowers came face to face. This tariff war has created an uncertain situation for the entire global economy. On one hand, china retaliated by increasing tariff rates in response to the high tariffs imposed by trump, while on the other hand it is fooling Washington and sending its goods in large quantities using other tricks.
Yes, according to reports from Japanese media Nikkei Asia News, Chinese companies are using South Korean labels to avoid American tariffs. According to Korea's Customs Service, goods worth about 29.5 billion have been exported from south korea from january to march, out of which about 97 percent of Chinese goods have been exported on fake labels.
Goods being sent with south korea label
Last year, south korea exported 34.8 billion. In such a situation, about 85 percent of the exports made in 2024 have been sent by march with south korea label. The Excise Department of south korea has given many such examples, such as mattresses from China. On which anti-dumping duty was being imposed. Now to avoid this, Chinese mattresses are first being deposited in a warehouse in the name of a Chinese citizen in south korea and then it is being sent to America by putting a fake label of South Korean product.
Another example is of rechargeable battery. It is being sent to south korea first from China. There it is being repackaged and exported to America after putting a fake label. Similarly, the parts of surveillance cameras are being sent to south korea first. Then after assembling it there, it is being exported to America by putting a South Korean label.
