Amazon Surveys Sellers on Impact of Trump-Era Tariffs

Amazon has begun contacting its third-party sellers to assess the impact of tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. The outreach aims to gather information on how these tariffs are affecting their businesses, including costs, supply chains, and overall profitability.

Third-party sellers are a crucial component of Amazon's marketplace, accounting for a majority of the products sold on the platform. Understanding their experiences with tariffs is essential for Amazon to make informed decisions and potentially advocate for policies that support its sellers.

The survey covers a range of topics, including the types of goods affected by tariffs, the extent to which tariffs have increased costs, and any adjustments sellers have made to their business strategies in response. The data collected will provide valuable insights into the broader economic consequences of the tariffs and their impact on small and medium-sized businesses.
