21 days agoThe actual reason is because in 2015 “Hewlett Packard” split into two companies, one called HP, Inc, and one called HP Enterprise. The print and consumer PC business went to HPI, while the server and network hardware went to HPE. So, writing just “HP” could be interpreted as ambiguous.
I know most of these companies have large logistics operations in other countries, for example Mexico.
Can/will they attempt to dodge the tariffs on China by redirecting shipments through some other country with lower tariffs on the product’s way into the United States? Would it be legal for them to do so? (It seems to me that a tariff happy country might prefer to view that as undesirable behavior–would the Trump administration have any recourse against that sort of thing?)
