      it would be fairly easy for items that Amazon sells themselves and imports. for items made here out of some or all imported materials it gets much more complicated. for other sellers it would be too much to ask of them to figure out something that will get muddy real quick.

      think about a can opener where the steel is Canadian, formed here, with grips made in china because they are the only ones doing that kind of plastic, and its all assembled here. the price is gonna go up, but how is Amazon or the mfr gonna list the tarrifs?

      how about a made in the usa trump hat (yes there are some) but the fabric is from Bangladesh because we don’t make fabric anymore? how does that get tariff listed?

      everyones usa col will be going way up. do you include any raises for your workers as a cost of the tariff? this ones a stretch I know.

      Amazon is also international obv. so once that can opener ships to Canada, hows that get listed after that?

        Thanks for replying. I don’t disagree with the complexity, but I do think it is feasible. Especially for a behemoth like amazon, with their ability to demand basically anything from the stores that rely on them and their access to some very talented engineers.

          they could demand us sellers supplier invoices. wow if they did that they would have entire supply chain info with sources and profit info and everything. now that I say that, I’m almost surprised they didn’t use this as an excuse to get that info. glad it’s canceled
