Amazon is considering a $15 billion investment to expand its U.S based warehouse network…
Amazon has canceled multiple inventory orders from Chinese suppliers due to new U.S. tariffs, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The affected shipments include consumer items such as scooters, beach chairs, and air conditioners.
The cancellations follow the Trump administration’s implementation of a 104% tariff package targeting Chinese imports, escalating pressure on global supply chains. In 2024, the U.S. imported nearly $440 billion in goods from China, with a significant share being consumer products.
“Amazon’s sales weathered the 2018 tariffs,” Bank of America analysts noted, “but the 2025 measures present a new ballgame for cost structures and logistics.” The bank has since lowered its price target for Amazon from $257 to $225.
Bloomberg also reported Amazon is weighing a $15 billion investment to grow its domestic warehouse network, potentially reducing its dependence on international inventory.
