WASHINGTON, US - APRIL 29, 2025: Amazon denied a report Tuesday that it will begin displaying tariff costs on product listings. The company said a team working for its low-cost store, Amazon Haul, "considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products," but the measure was not approved. “This was never approved and is not going to happen,” according to a spokesperson. US President Donald Trump commended Amazon's approach to the issue and praised founder and current executive chairman Jeff Bezos for doing the "right thing." "Jeff Bezos is very nice. Terrific. He solved the problem very quickly. He did the right thing. Good guy," Trump said when asked about the issue. Trump was speaking to the media before boarding Marine at the White House. Bezos participated in Trump's inauguration ceremony on Jan. 20, along with several high-profile tech CEOs and billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai. A Punchbowl News report suggested the company will begin displaying tariff costs on product listings to show how US trade policies are affecting prices. 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.
