Amazon Sellers: tariff refund exposure
Amazon and marketplace sellers import a huge mix of consumer goods, electronics, home goods, toys, much of it from China. Because so much of that inventory falls under Section 301, FBA and marketplace importers who were the importer of record often have meaningful, reviewable duty exposure spread across many entries.
