So I'll speak first to sort of the magnitude of tariff evasion in the United States, um, and then I'll speak to sort of how-- what are the different ways in which this can be done correctly.

So we'd estimate there's about a hundred and seven-- about a hundred and five billion dollars worth of tariff evasion, uh, per year that's occurring in the US with the current increased tariffs.
21:27
So that's about forty percent of the to- total tariff revenue that should be collected.

This generally falls into a couple buckets, which is one, um, incorrect usage-- well, transshipment, where you misdeclare where the good of-- goods origin was supposed to be.
