country B sells to country C that does the final packaging and then sells it to you.

This is happening right now if you haven't already noticed.

Country of origin rules still kick in that case. This is tour de force for rules around tariffs, know you nothing about how these work?

If it worked it wouldn't be happening, the fact that it is happening, and to well known country's proofs they don't work and is profitable for country B and C for it to continue to not work.

This not withstanding the obfuscation of country of origin that can happen If country B and C really wanted to work together.

You're describing someone evading the law, and your argument boils down to: "if laws worked, people wouldn't get away with breaking them."

We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

We're not talking about people, we're talking about governments, and other governments do not have to obey your governments tax law.
