Even with the current news, it has been reduced from 145% to 50-65%. Don’t even need to compare the same period last year, just compare Q1. tariff cost here is still rising. Plus T86 was canceled, the so-called ship port fees, plus various other costs, the seller’s overall operating costs, is not still rising.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Kaw is considering lowering those tariffs to between 50 and 65 percent.
Then, there’s the tiered approach: 35% tariffs on some goods that the U.S. zone sees as a general threat; and at least 100% tariffs on goods that the U.S. zone sees as critical.
Oh, yes, the whole thing is still going up. A reprieve?
Trying not to raise prices? Want to maintain the system of the original operating model? You can, then you have to accept one thing. Profit, have to be cut a knife.
And then, there is the once buried mines have not been detonated.
A few peers who have done AMZ and TikTok, said that they received an email from CBP, which had previously been found out because of low declaration, and had to be fined. According to them, it’s at least six figures. The whole thing is giving them a headache right now.
In fact, the risk of gray clearing is known. It’s just that this time, there’s a concentrated outbreak. All stuck at a point in time to be checked, not just this batch of goods to be fined, going back in history, the detection of the problem will not be able to avoid back taxes and fines. Even with the registration qualification is checked, store frozen, an industrial line of all nodes are out of the question.
Broken arm is a helpless but realistic operation. This point, basically, is to replenish the warehouse shipment, will not be like before as multiple SKU’s replenishment. It’s just targeted replenishment. So, they are checked for goods. The amount will not be too much, and the value of the goods will be higher and more injurious, but also affordable. Give it up and take the lesser of two evils. It hurts, at least you can still live.
Then, in front of us, there are two key time points that need to be considered clearly and make a good decision.1, 3 months, 2, July.
1, 3 months, refers to the inventory. Q1 most of the goods were shipped at the end of last year. And most of the goods sold in Q2 are also stuck in tariff changes, logistics changes, or even sent after the New Year. How long will it last? Heart have a number, and then how to adjust, but also more than three months of time. So, follow-up, to ship? When to ship? What form of shipment? This is an imminent matter.
2, July, AMZ’s PD is usually in July, TTS and other platforms, usually also in the summer to a big promotion. Whether it’s a market need or a cultivation of the platform. In previous years at this time, regardless of whether the sellers themselves have any problems, but also regardless of the general environment is a situation, the consumer market has a cycle of outbreaks. Just ask, this wave of traffic, this wave of benefits in front of you, even if you know it is a lofty mountain, you do not want to go to grab.
As long as the rules are really determined, rather than as it is now, today a statement, tomorrow is another practice. One policy last week, and the next week, a new policy is overturned. Even if, really, it’s 50%-65%. I believe that the seller here, first calculate the account, after calculating clearly, will always reintegrate a set of models that can get through, can make money. The difference may be that the process may be more cumbersome, the cycle will be stretched, the profit point will be reduced.
But it’s a matter of, as long as the rules are set, it can always be researched and studied to cope with it. Just like even if a forest is burned out by wildfire, after a heavy rain, there will always be new plants growing out of the ruins. Isn’t this wild vitality an attribute hidden in the DNA of major sellers. There have been too many similar encounters, and every time I’ve been able to get up again. Just get used to it.
