There is no additional 10 % due to BRICS membership.
Getting additional 40 % tarrift due to China supply chain ? Does she has enough critical thinking ? How on earth there is a deal like that as Indonesia prevously get 32 % tarriff ?

The (originally stated in Vietnam deal) transshipment condition is blanket policy:
"Goods deemed to have been transshipped to avoid higher duties elsewhere, however, will be tariffed at 40 percent, a US official told reporters Tuesday."

"Santoso emphasized that transshipment is not an acceptable trade practice and was one of the key issues addressed in the tariff negotiations with the US.
He warned that, as in Vietnam's case, goods transshipped from Indonesia could be subject to double tariffs.
"For example, if Vietnam's tariff is 20 percent, then goods transshipped from Vietnam via Indonesia may face a 40-percent tariff," he explained."
(So US would do same thing for PRC goods transshipped via any country in the end as well, this can be googled more, there are lot of articles about it).
