Transshipment penalties:
				
			- The new trade policy also establishes a 40% additional penalty on so-called transshipments. Those are goods that are shipped from a high-tariff country to a low-tariff country and then re-shipped to the US.
 - The US already imposes penalties and fines for goods that Customs and Border Protection agents deem to be transshipped. The 40% will come on top of that, a senior administration official said.
