Amazon seeks significant price reductions from its suppliers. Requested discounts range from low single digits up to 30 percent.
The e-commerce giant aims to reverse previous concessions. These concessions were initially granted to help vendors absorb tariffs implemented during the Trump administration.
The timing coincides with a major legal development. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the legality of these global tariffs on January 14. By lowering its cost of goods, Amazon proactively manages profitability and supply chain expenses, anticipating a shift in the tariff landscape.
