Much easier black market than drugs, because it is legal to import it, and no one checks when you export it.
Nvidia has 18%-28% of its sales to Singapore. They defend this by saying only 2% of their product is shipped there, but they don't say which countries receive the bulk of shipments that are billed through Singapore.
some 5090 cards in Hong Kong (from OP) are the same price as the US, which makes it hard to understand why US people have been charged with smuggling, and shows complicity of entire supply chain to funnel to China. Premiums over MSRPs in US would be zero or lower if this was all above board. You also can't find a 5090 on Amazon, but you can in Hong Kong boutique?
