Report: Amazon to Display Line-Item ‘Tariff Cost’ in Customers’ Checkout Prices
Breitbart ^ | 04/29/2025 | Simon Kent

Posted on 04/29/2025 7:08:25 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The price of products Amazon Inc. displays in its online store may soon include the listed price and how much was added to the value due to President Donald Trump’s tariff impositions.

Punchbowl News reported on Tuesday that, according to a source familiar with the matter, the e-commerce giant will start showing the figure added to the value because of the duties right alongside a product’s total price.

The move is reportedly an effort by Amazon to inform customers cost rises have nothing to do with it and everything to do with the Trump White House.

Response to the reported move has been fast and to the point, with diplomat Richard Grenell for one keen for other measures to be taken, noting the sheer volume of produce Amazon shifts from producers in China.

Good . It will let me know what to not buy (though I don’t use Amazon that often anyways)

But not the corporate taxes or the payroll taxes.

Because apparently Jeff Bezos likes those.

Good - it tells me that it is cheap Chinese junk

I predict this will not last long as people will just cancel the order.

“...noting the sheer volume of produce Amazon shifts from producers in China.”

I KNOW in my heart of hearts that they’re doing this to be d*cks to President Trump, but it will probably backfire, and will SHOW CONSUMERS just how much cr@p they actually buy from China - whether they know it or not!

MAGA! :)

KEEP IN MIND:

AMAZON DOES NOT MAKE THE ITEMS IT SELLS.
THEY HAVE CREATED A SYSTEM WHERE SMALLER COMPANIES CAN SELL THEIR PRODUCTS AT ONE SITE.

I use a septic treatment item that Amazon sells. Works great-—

BUT I also knew the guy who owned the company & I get it directly from them. SAME PRICE.

CAN YOU save on some items? SURE...BUT the entire AMAZON system is a HUGE ELECTRONIC PURCHASING WAREHOUSE SYSTEM.

Every purchase should show the amount of taxes, explicit, indirect, hidden, etc. Purchases include wages since that is a purchase of labor.

If people saw the true tax load we would throw off our oppressors.

Bezos should cover it all not just tariffs.

Ol’ Bezos doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to pissing contests.

They should prominently post what crap is sourced out of China. I have two $50+ items I purchased that the Chinese businesses are no longer in business.

Online store may soon include the listed price and how much was added to the value due to price gouging.

No shortages as yet and not likely to be but hey no laws about price gouging and many businesses are involved in it now.

Bonus Round: Democrats giving a nudge to them it’s good for
the midterm election and 2028.

I think you’re right. This is going to cause a lot of cancelled orders.

This is why Trump should eliminate tax withholding!
