I don't understand why there isn't a market or company that develop already to move all items to low tariff area before sending to US.

I know that manufacturing things here in Europe, there already used to be round trip by airplane and co to try to lower VAT paid on purchases to the maximum.

This is the intuition for tariffs for countries like Vietnam (where China used to send a lot of goods to for repackaging). Not a new idea, and one that customs will aggressively police.
