UPDATE!

Later ben ik dit tegengekomen:

““test kits covid19“ debunked:

I’ve done some digging this morning as I posted it on my Facebook yesterday. Apparently this is an international tariff chart. As such it can scale forward and backward in time for any item listed, regardless of whether that item existed at the time.

WCO changed the description of item 902780 and others to be Covid specific in April 2020 where they should have created a new key instead.

Change documented:

Anything exported under that code is now described as Covid-19.”

UPDATE 2!

Wat is dit?

Manipulatie: Covid-19-testkits werden jaren voordat de pandemie werd uitgeroepen al verspreid

“Nadat deze handelsinformatie viraal ging, probeerde de World Integrated Trade Solution “covid-19” opnieuw te labelen met een onopvallende term, “Medical Test Kits”. In de handelswereld is deze vaagheid niet toegestaan. Ook al probeerde WITS het etiket te verbergen, ze kunnen de productcode niet wijzigen. “Medical Test Kits” heeft dezelfde productcode, HS 300215, en staat voor “Covid-19 testkits”.”
