Tariff engineering refers to design, sourcing, and manufacturing decisions made primarily so that the manufactured good is classified at a lower rate for tariffs than it would have been absent those decisions. Tariff avoidance is a loophole whereby an importer pays a lower tariff by changing the intended import such that the importer has a lesser tariff burden.
