This new tariff story is hilarious. The Trumpsters are now in the position of trying to hide what most of us knew pre-election. Tariffs don’t make money for citizens. The cost is to the importer which is typically passed on at least in part to the consumer. Amazon simply wants to declare this cost to the consumer. Cost of item + tax + tariff = what you pay. Seems honest to me. If this is political, this is the case because it demonstrates the dishonesty of claims made. I hope Amazon institutes this idea. Like other issues with hidden fees consumers should be aware of the source of the price they pay.
