Also, in a recent private conversation somebody mentioned to me that Malaysian intermediaries are booming. A proxy firm buys a newly taxed product from a supplier in China and sells it to the existing customer in the US. Since shipping routes don't change and everything is done electronically, transaction costs are minimal. I bet the same trick is behind a sudden rise of Vietnamese exports to the US.
