I can see people buying GPU, send it to Mexico, and do the same, then export the chips to China. Since China is already offshoring their production to Mexico, the logistic chain is already there.

BIS doesn't have the budget or manpower to track consumer-grade GPUs end-uses.

Eh, they’re definitely making it harder to acquire, which makes it more expensive.
