Hey Savvy Sellers,

Big news is shaking up the eCom world again. President Donald Trump is back in the headlines—and so are his tariffs.

In a recent statement, Trump pledged a sweeping 10% universal tariff on all imported goods, with even higher duties targeting China (up to 60% on certain products) and European nations (20%). While these aren't yet in effect, if they follow the path of previous tariffs, there's a high chance they’ll become a reality if Trump wins in November—or even influence current policy before that.

But here’s what matters:

That’s not just noise. That’s your margin on the line.

🧾 The Real Impact on Amazon Sellers

For private label and arbitrage sellers sourcing from abroad, here’s where it hurts:

✅ Higher COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) – That $5 product now costs $6 or $6.50 to land in the US. Multiply that across hundreds or thousands of units.

✅ Lower Margins – If you try to eat the cost, your profit gets crushed. If you raise prices, you risk losing the Buy Box or reducing conversion.

✅ Uncertainty – Unstable import fees make forecasting and scaling a challenge.

✅ Fulfillment Fee Stacking – Combine this with rising FBA and referral fees, and the financial squeeze tightens.

🛟 So What Can You Do?

Smart sellers will start preparing now. Here’s what we recommend:

1. Diversify Your Suppliers

   • Start exploring sourcing from India, Vietnam, Pakistan, or Latin America to reduce risk.

2. Review Your Product Margins

   • Products with <30% margin may need to be replaced or repriced.

3. Re-evaluate Your Advertising Efficiency

   • Now more than ever, every dollar spent on PPC must convert.

💡 How Scale Fortune Helps You Offset Tariffs

At Scale Fortune, we understand that sellers are navigating tight margins, rising fees, and now possibly more expensive imports.

Here’s how working with an overseas agency like us helps you win:

💸 Lower Operating Costs – As a Pakistan-based agency, our pricing is extremely competitive without sacrificing quality. Why pay $3,000/month to a US agency when you can get better performance at half the cost?

🎯 PPC That Pays for Itself – Our Amazon Ads specialists focus on one thing: profitable growth. We help you scale, not just spend.

🎨 High-Converting Creatives – Striking A+ content, brand store pages, and thumbnails that boost conversion rates—key when your profit is under pressure.

🤝 All-in-One Support – We offer PPC + Creatives + Account Management, so you don’t need to juggle three different service providers (or fees).

🚀 Real Talk: Outsourcing Is the New Margin Hack

As costs rise across the board, sellers need to make smarter decisions.

Hiring a reliable overseas agency like Scale Fortune isn’t just about saving money—it’s about reallocating those savings to fuel growth. Whether that’s more aggressive ad spend, new product launches, or even just protecting your bottom line—it adds up.

🔔 Final Thoughts

Tariffs may be out of your control. But how you respond? That’s in your hands.

If you want to protect your margins, optimize your ad performance, and prepare for a potentially turbulent 2025, let’s talk.
