Chinese sellers run away from Amazon. Trump dealt a powerful blow

Chinese entrepreneurs selling at Amazon face a serious dilemma. In the face of Donald Trump announced by drastic duties, some of them plan to raise prices in the US, others consider the complete withdrawal from the American market. According to Reuters, these decisions may soon affect the availability and cost of many popular products.

Trump imposes duties on China

The changes announced by the former US president mean an increase in customs duties to goods from China from the existing 104 percent. up to 125 percent This means a significant load for importers that will translate into retail prices. Wang Xin, chairwoman of the Cross-border E-Commerce Association in Shenzhen, which represents over 3,000 Chinese sellers present at Amazon, described these changes as “an unprecedented blow.”

According to her, it is not only about tax increase. He emphasizes that the entire structure of the costs of conducting commercial activities in the United States has been “completely overwhelmed”. Therefore, more and more companies from China are starting to consider giving up the American market and transferring sales to other regions of the world.

The effects of the customs war

Experts warn that the situation may have far -reaching economic effects. Small and medium -sized enterprises, which constitute a large part of Chinese exporters, are particularly vulnerable to the loss of profitability. Potential consequences are mass bankruptcy and an increase in unemployment in China.

Increasing duties can also affect consumers in the USA. Not only products from China, but also goods of global brands that use Chinese production can become more expensive. This, in turn, can affect inflation and disturb the supply chains in the e-commerce sector.
