Lots of products. Its called Tariff Engineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff_engineering.

Probably the best known example is Converse. "The felt lining on the bottom of the sneakers allows Converse to classify their product as slippers, so the company benefits from a much lower tariff rate." https://blogs.pugetsound.edu/econ/2019/02/18/tariff-engineer...

This made me think a little more. When people talk about "dogfooding" they usually mean using a product as an end user, the consumer or customer. Who is the customer of doordash? The drivers are a supplier. How often do companies try to make the life of their supplies better?

What's good for Walmart might not overlap with what's good for the supply chain.
