On May 30, 2025, the U.S. government, under the Trump administration, implemented a new round of 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, a move expected to significantly affect Amazon sellers, especially those dealing in hardware, tools, automotive parts, canned goods, and other metal-based products. These steep tariffs are projected to raise manufacturing and sourcing costs for a wide range of sellers, particularly private label brands and resellers importing affected materials. As a result, many sellers may need to reevaluate their pricing strategies, increase product prices, or seek alternative domestic or tariff-exempt suppliers. Industry experts warn that these changes could squeeze profit margins and slow sales if not addressed promptly. Additionally, some small to mid-sized Amazon businesses may face operational challenges as they struggle to absorb or pass on the extra costs. Amazon has not yet announced any platform-level assistance or fee adjustments in response to the tariffs. Sellers are encouraged to consult trade advisors, analyze their supply chain vulnerabilities, and act proactively to stay competitive while maintaining profitability under the new import cost structures.
