everybody makes their products in China, the company is still American.

Except they aren’t an American company genius. They’re part of the Hong Kong based Pine Technology Holdings. They only moved their headquarters to California, but they definitely aren’t an American company.

Well for those of you dont know. This is our way to devalue things in order to get low custom duties. Its not just xfx or their partners export or import. Its the way every other company does here. If i were to import these i would end up requesting chinese to relabel all by lower models so when they land in my country, i could save myself from custom duties.

Normally i dont. But XFX have tried to defraud the Chinese Customs Authorities and the CCA still answer to the Government so im not wrong either.

I would have to congratulate the authorities of China.
And this is a good lesson for everyone else, that customs authority this is always awake.

More likely someone forgot to bribe the customs authority hard enough and this has been the norm for a long, long time.

Hi,
Yep just missed the second hand to bribe lol

Surprise visit

Your cheap conspiracy story I suppose.
Hong Kong lost the favor of Chinese government, nowadays China protects of what they consider as National interest.
The cargo if it was succed to pass at Hong Kong, then it would be exported at the west world.

Maybe they mistakenly added a vowel to the name of the card.

fluxc0d3r · Mar 14, 2022

No wonder XFX cards sell for a lot less than it's competitors in Canada. I remember their 6600 XT cars being much cheaper than Gigabyte Eagle cards, which is the next cheapest alternative. They were in the low $500 CDN range at my local PC shop whereas the next cheapest 6600XT cards was 100-150 dollars more.

riffraffy · Mar 15, 2022

Now I'm really confused because I thought mislabeling was the way they got to be the biggest sellers in the world.

kiriakost · Mar 15, 2022

More conspiracy theories, does not do any good.
Even if China was closing their eyes on that case, foreign custom clearance authorities, they would have their own chance too, so to trace it and capture it.

Stop saying nonsense, XFX is an american company period. Even if they are owned by someone in Hong Kong that is only an investment company.

So they're an american company, owned by a chinese company, that makes products in china, ships them in china, sells them in china, and got them taken by chinese authorities.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

you're just being obtuse. ARM is an english company owned by Softbank, a japonese investment firm. That doesn't make them japonese at all.

You probably have no idea what an investment company is , so there's that

EDIT: and EVGA shiped my gpu from Taiwan so does that make it a Taiwanese company?
