Description
Amazon is disputing a report that the e-commerce giant was planning to display how much tariffs were raising prices for products on its online storefront, after the White House criticized the reported plan.
In a statement, a company spokesperson told the Washington Post (which is also owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos), that staff had considered listing "import charges on certain products" in the Amazon Haul low-cost store. But they stressed nothing has been implemented and it was never considered on its main storefront.
Amazon Haul is the company's answer to drop-shipping sites such as Temu and Shein, which sell goods imported from China at low costs to American consumers. Amazon Haul's products are mainly priced at or below $20.
