Although there are many news articles about tariff dodging by re-routing made-in-China goods through third countries and relabelling them as made-in-Mexico or made-in-Viet Nam, there are no scientific studies on the issue. This paper provides statistical evidence on whether such practices are taking place. Using monthly trade statistics at the most disaggregated level, analysis using data up to 2019, the year before the COVID-19 shock, show little evidence of roundabout trade. With an extended data set up to 2023, overall, there is little sign of roundabout trade, although some slight signs of roundabout trade for Mexico and Viet Nam.
