Overview

  • Anker has raised prices on 127 of its products on Amazon, with an average increase of 18%, following new U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods.
  • The U.S. imposed an additional 50% import duty on April 7, 2025, bringing total tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%.
  • China has retaliated by raising tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%, further escalating the trade conflict between the two nations.
  • Anker, a major seller on Amazon, attributes its price hikes to the increased tariff burden and competitive pressures faced by Chinese manufacturers.
  • The company is considering expanding its market focus to Europe and Southeast Asia as it adapts to the shifting trade landscape.
