India named in US ‘shadow transhipment network’: What Trump report means for trade ties

A recently released US government report claims that several countries, including India, are part of an illegal "shadow transhipment network" that aims to obscure the true origins of goods produced in China. The report, titled "The Great Transhipment Scam: Global Evasion and Economic Costs," categorizes these countries into three tiers based on their level of involvement in illegal transhipment activities. India is classified as tier 1, indicating a high risk of illegal transhipment within its legitimate trade flows.
