I know most of these companies have large logistics operations in other countries, for example Mexico.
Can/will they attempt to dodge the tariffs on China by redirecting shipments through some other country with lower tariffs on the product's way into the United States? Would it be legal for them to do so? (It seems to me that a tariff happy country might prefer to view that as undesirable behavior--would the Trump administration have any recourse against that sort of thing?)
No, that would not be legal. I don't know how they write the law exactly, but they account for that. Could be based on country of manufacture.
It's only illegal if you're caught
Or haven't paid your monthly bribe.
Or if the Judges enforce anything
