Amazon says displaying tariffs 'not going to happen' after White House blowback

This was never going to be feasible to display for several obvious reasons:<p>1. A tariff is part of the landed cost of a product - meaning it&#x27;s a component of a businesses&#x27; Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). It is not an optional additional service, such as shipping, and is not something that can readily be broken out of product costings (which is used to determine markup and price).<p>2. Many, <i>many</i> businesses purchase goods for resale from other businesses which imported the goods. Sometimes a business may be two or three times removed from the actual importation of products. None of those businesses would have the capability to prove which component of their price is due to tariffs. This policy would only favor businesses which are importing direct and then reselling direct to consumer, ie. the very overseas Chinese businesses the tariffs are specifically targeting.<p>Amazon already has a Chinese problem in that it&#x27;s being slowly converted into a higher-priced Temu - filled with junk and knock-offs everyone complains about. I do not see it being advantageous for Amazon to create such a policy that grossly favors overseas businesses over Amazon&#x27;s domestic partners and 3rd party sellers.

There is a line for sales tax why not a line for the largest tax ever imposed? I thought he loved tariffs, why not be proud of what you did?

I guess the Leadership Princple of &quot;Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit&quot; doesn&#x27;t apply when dealing with our current POTUS.

Cowards, people needs to stand up to that clown, otherwise the US will end up as a backwater country.

No comments thus far mention the Streisand Effect.[1]<p>Bezos may have realized the net effect of the move had a decent likelihood of proving to be self-immolation.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Streisand_effect" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Streisand_effect</a>

For anyone with a basic understanding of a tariff as a measurable levied tax on a product vs inflation as a general measurement of price increases, this has to be one of the most wild and best example I’ve seen in many decades of Doublespeak as defined in Orwells 1984.<p>“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” the White House press secretary asked.<p>The statement is delivered with authority but is utterly nonsensical.

Display of the cost of goods sold for an item (back calculated from the tariff) would be incredibly good information for competitors.
