In order to prevent the risk of over-payment of tariffs, Swann has adjusted the procurement structure of products sent to the United States since November 2018, gradually adjusting from the procurement package to the separate procurement of front-end cameras and back-end hard disk video recorders and related parts. This led to major changes in the product sales structure in 2019, and the sales ratio of front-end cameras and back-end hard disk video recorders increased significantly. [emphasis added]
