The US White House released "The Great Transshipment Scam" report targeting Chinese goods being re-routed through third countries to avoid tariffs. Thailand is classified as Tier 2 risk (moderate concern) alongside Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, and Vietnam. Eight Thai export industries worth over $52 billion face potential enhanced scrutiny from US Customs, affecting goods valued at 172–345 billion baht. This is a classification for monitoring, not a formal accusation, though it signals increased inspection risk for Thai exporters shipping to the US.
