Resellers rebrand DeepCool as Shaking Tank to sidestep US sanctions

Resellers are rebranding DeepCool products as Shaking Tank to bypass US sanctions.

: DeepCool, a Chinese cooling company, has been sanctioned by the US for doing over $1 million in business with Russian firms. Resellers are rebranding DeepCool products as Shaking Tank and blurring logos to offload inventory. YouTube reviewer Greg Salazar exposed this practice. This rebranding likely kills any after-sales service or warranties.

DeepCool has been sanctioned by the US State Department for activities involving over $1 million in transactions with Russian firms associated with the Ukraine invasion. The sanctions prohibit US residents from any commercial activities involving DeepCool, essentially banning its products from the American market.

Despite these sanctions, resellers have found a way to circumvent the restrictions by rebranding DeepCool products under the name 'Shaking Tank'. They are also blurring out the original logos and re-listing the items on platforms like Amazon to avoid detection.

YouTube tech reviewer Greg Salazar unveiled this workaround by sharing examples of these rebranded products online. Consequently, purchasing a Shaking Tank product might be risky for customers, as the sanctions likely void any potential after-sales service or warranties.
