This is to stop the practice of shipping things to a place, making a small change, then re-exporting from there to avoid tariffs.

Is that commonly done on uninhabited islands? Wouldn’t the shipping cost offset any gains? Where do you even make these small changes if there’s nobody there? And what does the export paperwork look like?

That doesn’t hold water if you’re talking about uninhabited Antarctica territories.
