Amazon will begin to indicate the value of American duties near the prices of goods, in the White House the decision was considered "hostile"

UPD.: After criticism by the Trump administration, Amazon denied the message: “The team that controls our store of the Amazon Haul disco store really considered the idea of ​​indicating imported fees for certain goods. [...] Teams regularly discuss various ideas. This issue was never considered in relation to the main site of Amazon and was not implemented on any of the Amazon platforms, ” the company said .

The White House criticized Amazon for the intention to indicate the share of duties in the price of goods on his website, calling this practice “hostile”. “Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration brought inflation to the highest level over 40 years?” -Bloomberg quotes the press secretary of the White House Caroline Levitt.

The Minister of Finance Scott Ibnisent added that it is unfair to allocate duties, since other costs laid down in the price of goods are not displayed in connection with the policy of previous administrations. He also stated that Donald Trump’s policy is designed to increase the real incomes of the Americans: “We expect the real growth of the purchasing power, which we are already observing in the first 100 days, and expect that it will accelerate,” he said.

Earlier, that the amount of duties will be indicated next to the price, reported by Punchbowl News. The company itself has not yet commented on the publication. Amazon, Shein and other online sites are preparing to introduce duties of 120% due to the abolition of benefits to small parcels from China worth up to $ 800, which were previously not taxed by customs fees.
