We image-match every Amazon item to AliExpress and score it with DINOv2 + CLIP. A strong visual match tagged “Same item” is the identical product; “Equivalent” means the same type of bathtub toys from a different brand that looks and works the same for much less. We pick by visual match and price, and each object shows which it is.
Per unit where packs differ (e.g. a 12-pack vs a 50-pack is compared each), “buy one” where a single AliExpress piece undercuts a whole Amazon pack, or straight list price — whichever applies is stated on the object. We only call it a win at 30%+ less.
When no AliExpress bathtub toys is 30%+ less, or nothing looks like a genuine match, importing just adds wait and risk for no gain — so the call is Amazon, and we say so on the object.
