Analysis-Amazon sellers are stocking up in the face of tariffs, but it's a short-term fix
U.S. President Trump has imposed 145% duties on imports from China, a move that has left companies including Amazon, Walmart and Apple scrambling to reassess supply chains and find ways to keep costs down. Amazon said, "We haven't seen any attenuation of demand yet," nor much increase in average selling prices of retail items. There had been some "heightened buying in some categories," likely indicating third-party sellers were stocking up to mitigate any tariff impact, it said.
