Yeah…I saw that. Hence my comment.
Why would they allow that in? Even if it was labeled as that, they could do like I said in my comment and slap the highest tariff available on it - if that were the actual goal, and not an obvious lie to cover up their ineptitude.
I agree, it’s insane that customs ever accepted a fictional port on uninhabited islands as a point of origin in the first place. That’s the loophole they should close. It does appear that that’s a thing that did actually happen though, so it’s not a complete fabrication. I’d say customs should have been authorized to confiscate any such good until a non-fictional provinence was proven.
I even put it in bold.
