Maybe he realized that the move would highlight how much of what he sells comes from Red China.

bingo

I mentioned that in an earlier thread.

Shoppers prefer to be blissfully ignorant of the sources.
If you highlight it to them with a tariff notification, the backlash might not be against Trump, but against Amazon.

Too bad. I’d like to see taxes itemized on everything I buy.

That’s a shame. I thought for the first time Amazon would clearly identify Made in America products….the only ones with no tariffs

Given the fact that Bozo’s company can’t even deliver half of their ordered products without issues any more, I was wondering how the hell they would be able to accurately reflect the percentage of the price is associated tariffs anyway; more likely, Amazon saw it as an opportunity to jack up prices and blame the Trump administration. It’s not a coincidence that Bozos looks like a rat...

If they can list tariffs separately, then they can calculate how much the total tariff charges would be for a month, and request that the American government use those proceeds to pay down the national debt incurred by the Biden admin by allowing illegals to flood our country.

Almost like a payback mechanism to American citizens - call it the "Bezos Reparations to All Americans Fund".

I was on Chat with them for about 15 minutes asking why their products didn’t reflect tariffs that the USA is charged.

I was hoping they would do this and I buy a bunch of junk on Amazon. I would also like to see all the taxes itemized that were required to produced and transport the product.

Additionally, lets include a line item that shows the cost of regulatory compliance needed to produce the product from start to delivery.

People would quickly see that your $200.00 BBQ actually only cost $30.00 to make and ship, the rest is just government skim.

I’m fine with Amazon rigorously enforcing the Country-of-Origin information. Then I’ll make my choices.

No problem - just be sure to list all such items in Chinese instead of English.....

“ I was wondering how the hell they would be able to accurately reflect the percentage of the price is associated tariffs …”

Just like most of what the left does, they would probably have just made it up.

Indeed. A tariff is a tax, paid by the customer, on his purchase of imported goods. To the extent that it can be done objectively, all taxes and fees should be itemized. This includes credit-card fees, which several restaurants in my area now itemize. I have seen gasoline pumps on which the taxes per gallon are itemized. Transparency is a good thing; we need more of it.

Good point. Bezos didn’t get where he is by being stupid.
