Amazon.com Inc. has canceled orders for multiple products made in China and other Asian countries, reducing its exposure to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
The orders for beach chairs, scooters, air conditioners and other merchandise from multiple Amazon vendors were halted after Trump’s April 2 announcement.
It’s unclear how widespread the cancellations are and how many types of merchandise they affect.
Canceling those orders puts the tariff exposure back on vendors if they import merchandise to the US by other means.
