一群工程师正在修改图纸文件。他们撰写了一份厚厚的30页说明书，详细解释了技术上的各种不同之处。光是快递这份文件的费用就高达两万多块。 当场听到这番言论的人们都不知该如何回应。印度尼西亚刚刚同意不设关税，而美国却仍坚持对他们征收高达19%的关税。这两种标准的冲突直接摆在了全 世界的面前。 尤其让人感到不安的是，那些多年前就在印度尼西亚建厂的中国光伏企业老板们。他们最初的计划是通过印度尼西亚将产品销往美国，从而避开美国的301 关税。然而，现在他们面临的问题是：\"生产线上的产品必须标明非中国技术来源。\" 这一技术要求看似简单，实则极具挑战性。这意味着，即使产品中只有一个小小的螺丝是从中国运过来的，这整批货物都有可能被美国海关扣留检查。 隆基和天合光能等公司的仓库已经堆满了太阳能板的组件。而在码头上，出产的镍矿石必须优先给美国船只装载。因此，光伏组件若要装船出口，只能排队 等候。 面对这一局面，老板们别无选择，只能临时改变航运路线，先将组件运往新加坡，重新包装后再运往美国。这样一来，每个集装箱的运输成本就增加了8美 元。 这一切背后的情况是什么呢？就在印度尼西亚与美国之间签署了一项协议，而这个协议并未涉及关税问 ...
