Amazon to Refund Some Customers After Receiving $600 Million in Tariff Refunds
Amazon received approximately $600 million (around Rs 5,700 crore) in tariff refunds following a US Supreme Court ruling that invalidated several Trump-era import duties. The company stated it absorbed most tariff costs rather than passing them to customers but identified limited cases where import charges were passed on. Amazon plans to automatically refund affected shoppers without requiring claims and will use remaining refunds to invest in lower prices. This disclosure was made by CFO Brian Olsavsky during the company’s quarterly earnings call.
