Bad news! Amazon's latest changes! All sellers' products are affected

The sweater war that started last year was in full swing until the end of the year, and finally saw a turning point at the beginning of this year.

After a meeting, the two sides decided to stop the escalation of the sweater war and stepped up consultations to cancel the various punitive measures imposed after the start of the sweater war.

So we had a ceasefire period from January to April this year, but on the issue of canceling the lockout, it is clear that the United States and we have not been able to reach a consensus, and the negotiations have been going on from January to now.

The longer the negotiations drag on, the more likely it is that there will be a reversal. In the end, what we were worried about happened, and the sweater war is about to reignite!

Just after the 10th round of consultations in the sweater war ended, the US President suddenly announced on Twitter yesterday that the previously implemented 10% punitive shutdown would be increased to 25% on Friday (May 10).

I combined these two tweets and translated them for you

To sum it up briefly, Trump is angry about the slow progress of the negotiations and wants to cancel the current suspension agreement of the trade war. He also wants to escalate the trade war further, increase the punitive tariff on 200 billion products from 10% to 25%, and impose tariffs on more Chinese products.

We all know that Trump likes to make harsh remarks on Twitter. Is this an attempt to put pressure on the Chinese negotiating team and try to get us to make concessions to the United States at the negotiating table?

The next round of negotiations on the sweater war was scheduled for May 8 , two days before Trump's deadline. Threatening at this time is definitely putting pressure on our negotiators.

But this pressure is not groundless, and the United States is indeed prepared to implement the above-mentioned additional punishment measures , as can be seen from Trump 's tweet.

It's this sentence. I think the seller must be confused when he first saw this sentence. Why doesn't the cost of my product increase even though you've raised so much?

In fact, this sentence is meant for American consumers . Although I will increase my attention to Chinese products in the future, your purchase costs will not increase, and most of the costs will be borne by China (sellers).

It is already trying to appease American consumers, which shows that this policy is not just a show of strength, but is already prepared to be implemented in the future.

According to data from the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the total value of goods imported by the United States from China in 2018 was 539.5 billion US dollars . Trump claimed that he would join the punitive shutdown this time. The total value of products has reached 530 billion US dollars , and almost all goods exported to the United States are slated to be sold.

This news directly led to another drop in the RMB exchange rate and the stock market.

The depreciation of the RMB and the high punitive tariffs have made the foreign trade situation even more severe. Now all foreign trade sellers have focused their attention on the negotiation team , and their next work will directly determine the overall environment of the foreign trade industry this year.

However, the rise in the US dollar exchange rate and the closed mode of cross-border e-commerce give us Amazon sellers more advantages in the sweater war than traditional wool trade.

The sudden situation of the sweater war is a huge challenge for traditional foreign traders and factory sellers, but it is also a great opportunity for you to try to transform on Amazon.

In order to help factory sellers and traditional foreign trade people transform, we have prepared a public welfare offline sharing and exchange meeting for everyone on May 19th, the location is on the West Lake in Hangzhou
