# US names India among 40 hubs in transshipment scam 2026-08-14T03:48:19+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Trump White House on Thursday released a report accusing China of routing exports through third countries, including India, to avoid US tariffs. The practice, called transshipping, costs the US $19 billion to $26 billion annually in lost revenue. White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said China is 'laundering its exports' through more than 40 nations, and warned that India could also face penalties. The report estimates the total value of transshipped goods at $34.2 billion to $303 billion annually. The US has started using artificial intelligence to detect tax evasion. The allegations come ahead of a planned September visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com - ndtv.com Tags: China transshipment, Donald Trump, Peter Navarro, tariff evasion, trade war, US tariffs Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-flags-26-bn-tariff-hole-as-china-reroutes-exports/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
