… Why were we allowing items into the country that were shipped through an uninhabited island to begin with? Like, that should be the red flag… They should treat it like losing your parking garage ticket, you pay the top rate.
Yeah…I saw that. Hence my comment.
Why would they allow that in? Even if it was labeled as that, they could do like I said in my comment and slap the highest tariff available on it - if that were the actual goal, and not an obvious lie to cover up their ineptitude.
I agree, it’s insane that customs ever accepted a fictional port on uninhabited islands as a point of origin in the first place. That’s the loophole they should close. It does appear that that’s a thing that did actually happen though, so it’s not a complete fabrication. I’d say customs should have been authorized to confiscate any such good until a non-fictional provinence was proven.

I even put it in bold.
