I'm assuming that these uninhabited islands don't have a port and so this is an impossible scenario, but I don't know enough about international shipping to be sure.

The Trump administration has claimed this is to avoid using these islands as a proxy, but I think they're just trying to cover their asses.

Just another sharpie.

Not only no port, not a single person has been to the islands in many years at all.

Ok, but is there a possibility of there being a loophole here? Could you transfer cargo without a port? Is it required to use a different ship to be considered as coming from that island, or is there something equivalent to changing the flag and sailing onwards?
I'm assuming that the explanation is just covering up incompetence (and providing an excuse that passes if you don't use critical thinking skills), but that's only my assumption. Much of my knowledge about international shipping comes from Wendover videos, so I know I'm no expert.
