- Amazon said Tuesday it considered displaying import charges on items sold via its site for ultradiscount items, but that the plan “was never approved and not going to happen.”
- The White House lashed out at Amazon after a report said the company would “soon” begin displaying import charges alongside some items.
- The move would have affected items sold on Haul, Amazon’s answer to Chinese discount retailer Temu, which offers apparel, home goods and other items priced at $20 or less.
Amazon said Tuesday it considered displaying import charges on items sold via its site for ultradiscount items, but that the plan “was never approved and not going to happen.”
The move would have affected items sold on Haul, Amazon’s answer to Chinese discount retailer Temu, which offers apparel, home goods and other items priced at $20 or less. Haul, which Amazon launched last year, is separate from its main storefront.
“The team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products,” Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle said in a statement. “This was never approved and is not going to happen.”
