tl;dr; from the actual report: plug in hybrid emissions are pretty much the same as regular hybrid emissions, because their electric engines lack power and internal combustion engine kicks in way more than in the tests that got their lower emissions numbers.

Diving head first

Courier company will nickel and dime you every chance they get. E.g. paying customs fees online before package arrives vs paying with CC on delivery can save you $10-15 in some cases.

De minimis was suspended for all imports into US several weeks ago.

It's more complicated:

1. Tariff depends on the country of origin of the handbag - simplifying a bit where it was made, not where it was sent from. E.g. if it was made in Vietnam you are paying tariff for Vietnam even when buying from France.
2. Country of origin has to be declared (and sometimes documented) by the seller. Not all of them know how to properly do that.
3. You pay tariffs on full invoice, including shipping costs.
4. If what you are buying is discounted and both full price and discount amount are on the invoice you might initially be forced to pay tariffs on full price and then fight customs to get a partial refund. This usually happens when the seller is sloppy when filing customs paperwork or just includes an invoice and has customs sort it out.
5. There will be extra fees for customs brokerage. IDK what the current rates are with major courier companies, but I'd guess $30-60
6. Once you go over $2500 shipment value it gets more complicated

Source: handled customs for about 40 shipments from Canada and EU to Amazon warehouses in the USA.

Act like she's gonna do it: get all the paperwork you might need to defend yourself and have extra copies (notarized if possible) deposited with friends and/or a lawyer.

With that done seriously consider spilling the beans to remove that threat. Btw did you know IRS rewards whistleblowers 10-30% of any evaded taxes they recover and fines for that evasion? Sounds like a great way to fund a vacation...

Given the quality of the simulation I think it's a vibe-coded prototype

Am I missing something? Korean K2 Black Panther tanks Poland bought were supposed to be the most expensive tanks at $8.5M a piece. This deal is almost 40M euro per tank

I want a second opinion

You can only guarantee the records have not been tampered with if you maintain a full copy of the records to compare. Even if you do have that full copy you will have a problem proving your copy is the correct one. A full crypto-verified ledger solves that.

If you empower e.g. every change filer (court, notary public) to run a node fudging records becomes effectively impossible.

Updates lag 4-6 months after filing, so not 100% solved.

They already are in most countries. E.g. in Poland land registry is maintained by court system and any changes are made only as a result of court order or a filing made by a notary public, who has a real incentive to check all the documents, because they are on the hook financially for any false filings.
