Amid escalating trade tensions between the US and China, Amazon has significantly altered its operations, including canceling large orders from Chinese suppliers worth over $500,000 and halting imports from various Asian countries. CEO Andy Jassy warned that the ongoing tariffs could lead to increased prices for consumers, as sellers are likely to pass on the costs. Many Chinese sellers on Amazon are contemplating raising prices or even exiting the US market due to the impact of the tariffs, which have reportedly jumped to 125%. This situation has led to a chaotic environment for Amazon sellers, with some already raising prices and pausing inventory orders. As the e-commerce giant navigates these turbulent waters, it is simultaneously exploring investments in US warehouses to mitigate the crisis.
