9. Do the tariffs apply to goods in transit? What if the ship is cleared to enter the port, but not unloaded?

What about containers that aren't unpacked at the port? Does the new tariff apply to those goods even though the whole container was in the U.S. and had been transported away from the port before the tariff was applied?

And...with the huge dollar amounts involved that will incentivize the hell out of cheating, do we have enough inspectors to keep up?
