Amazon Denies Report On Listing Tariffs With Prices

April 29, 2025 Business, Trump Corruption

The New York Times reports:

Displaying the import fees would have made clear to American consumers that they are shouldering the cost of President Trump’s tariff policies rather than China, as he and his top officials have often claimed would be the case.

An Amazon spokesman said the company had considered a similar idea on part of its site, Amazon Haul, which competes with Temu, a Chinese retailer. Temu primarily ships directly to consumers and has begun displaying “import charges” to reflect the end of a customs loophole that had exempted low-priced items from tariffs.

“Teams discuss ideas all the time,” the spokesman, Ty Rogers, said in a statement. He said it was never under consideration for the main Amazon site, adding: “This was never approved and is not going to happen.”

Earlier today White House spox Karoline Leavitt brandished a printout of a 2021 Reuters report that Amazon had “partnered with a Chinese propaganda outlet,” claiming that the now-debunked price-listing plan was a “hostile and political act.” Amazon owner Jeff Bezos has been publicly nuzzling Trump’s nutsack since November and personally donated $1 million to Trump’s grifting “inauguration fund.”
