Amazon currently does not show tariff costs on its main product listings or during checkout. Although there were reports and internal considerations about displaying tariff or import surcharge costs-particularly on its low-cost Haul storefront for ultra-discount items-Amazon has officially denied approving or implementing such a plan
. Key points:
- Amazon's Haul team briefly considered listing import charges on some low-cost products but the idea was never authorized and will not happen
- Reports that Amazon would soon display tariff costs "right next to the product's total listed price" originated from Punchbowl News but were refuted by Amazon and met with strong criticism from the White House, which called the idea a "hostile and political act"
- Amazon’s spokesperson emphasized that discussions about showing tariffs were just internal considerations and not company policy
- The White House and President Trump reportedly reacted negatively to the news, leading Amazon to backtrack quickly and clarify that no tariff display would be implemented
In summary, Amazon does not currently show tariff costs on its site, and any plans to do so have been officially rejected and are not in effect.
