Well, the tariffs are here. More than 70 percent of the products that wholesalers and retailers sell on Amazon are produced in China, according to a survey conducted by Jungle Scout and published by the ECDB. So, looks like cost for the majority of sellers are going up substantially. Per WSJ: China will be hit with a new 34% tariff, adding to previous duties, like the 20% tariff Trump imposed over fentanyl. That means the base tariff rate on Chinese imports will be 54%, before adding pre-existing levies. Have you started changing prices yet?

Not talked about much: "Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order eliminating the so-called de minimis provision for low-value parcels from China, effective May 2. Under U.S. tax law, the de minimis provision allows companies to avoid import taxes and customs inspections on international shipments with a retail value of $800 or less."

89 million de minimis packages came in from China in January. So, say the tariffs cuts that flood of packages in half, DHS still has to deal with a tsunami of packages to collect tariffs on which they never had to do before. Are there details on a plan to handle this? If so, please share.

The new de minimis rules may help some USA based sellers whos items are low cost and compete with cheap Chinese goods off of Temu et.al. Seems most of us in the USA can expect long delays on import clearances. Are stock outs therefore looming, and is it another reason to raise prices to conserve what inventory we all have already landed in the USA?

Thoughts?

Hi @Seller_8hQgfj6OVZYse @Seller_GEZPMc4CeQfh6,

We're a new brand for dietary supplements and just created our first listing. However, our offer was removed with Amazon stating that we need to request selling approval for compliance. When we try to to request for approval, we're notified that Amazon is not accepting applications to sell:

Other Health & Personal Care category in Used, Refurbished, Collectible condition(s)

Other Human Ingestible Products in New, Used, Refurbished, Collectible condition(s)

Is there any other way to seek approval to sell dietary supplements? We'd be eager to submit requirements needed for approval.

Case ID: 17525452921

Thank you!

There is a delay in UPS. I brought the product to UPS 4 days before the date Amazon said the product would be delivered but UPS delivered late. This puts my account at Risk.

I uploaded an SDS and excemption sheets for an asins and the SDS got it classed correctly as non hazmat. Then amazon restricted the sister variation asin, which is THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT. I upload THE SAME EXACT SDS , and amazon does not declass the asin as hazmat , even though it was THE EXACT SAME SDS.

The only difference that changes on the products is the color.

Ingredients provided, titles checked, sent them in like 15 times.

Eventually 1 out of the 15 ASINS will get accepted after 3-4 tries, but it`s taking 2-3 days for them to review it every time.

We only do FBM for these products, if that chnges anything.
