Tariffs are often regulated by treaties or meet with reactionary tariffs so local exemptions are usually the most practical way of dealing with imports.

How do I get my own exemption? I’m more special than everyone else.

Do you compete in an industry subject to some sort of excise tax or tariff? If so, then hire a lawyer to explain the existing exemptions to you.

If not, go troll somewhere else.

The premise is that the exemptions were selected for political reasons, and a small fish in a small industry has zero chance of getting their own exemption.

That's politically expedient, but if laundering carbon is as easy as exchanging goods across a border then what's the point?
