Amazon to show tariff costs on product listings: Report

​​​​​​​By Yasin Gungor

ISTANBUL (AA) - Amazon will begin displaying tariff costs on product listings to show how US trade policies are affecting prices, Punchbowl News said Tuesday.

Amazon wants consumers to see how much of an item’s price stems from tariffs, with the amount shown next to the price, according to someone familiar with the plan.

The e-commerce platform "doesn’t want to shoulder the blame" for rising prices due to tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump administration, especially on China.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt condemned the move as a "hostile and political act."

“Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm. So, this is another reason why Americans should buy American,” Leavitt told reporters Tuesday.

She said the decision underscores the need to onshore critical supply chains and boost domestic manufacturing.

Amazon’s decision comes amid a tariff regime that includes a 145% duty on Chinese imports and a universal 10% minimum tariff along with reciprocal tariffs on other countries.
