2025.4.8  GoodsFox Daily E-commerce News: US Tariffs: A "Hurricane" Devastating Global Independent Stations

  • US Tariffs: A "Hurricane" Devastating Global DTC Store
  • eBay Updates UK - US Cross - Border Tariff Info
  • Temu Spurs Low - Value Goods Imports in New Zealand
  • 32% of US Consumers Want Quick Brand Responses
  • Amazon Launches "Buy for Me" Service

 

1. US Tariffs: A "Hurricane" Devastating Global DTC Store

On April 2, 2025, the Trump administration announced a 34% tariff on Chinese goods. Also, the duty - free policy for small packages under $800 will end on May 2. This hits global independent station merchants hard. Logistics costs rise, and with tariffs, low - value goods' profit margins shrink to less than 10%. The US Consumer Technology Association predicts a $143 - billion drop in US consumers' purchasing power, hitting independent station orders. Platforms like Temu and Shein see sales plunge. GoodsFox warns: This tariff storm is reshaping e - commerce. Independent stations face a double shuffle of branding and globalization. Merchants must break through in multiple ways to seize new opportunities.

2. eBay Updates UK - US Cross - Border Tariff Info

eBay has updated tariff information for UK - to - US sellers. It's closely watching new US import rules. Since April 3, 2025, these rules affect UK - shipped goods to US buyers. US customers pay extra tariffs for orders over $800 and may need to provide tax info for customs, which may delay delivery. eBay is updating "estimated delivery dates". Tariffs, goods' material, and category affect buyers' costs. Tariffs and personal info are collected by carriers after checkout, not in eBay's display price. Sellers are advised to use eBay's Global Shipping Program for simpler international sales.

 

3. Temu Spurs Low - Value Goods Imports in New Zealand

Stats NZ data shows Temu and SHEIN are changing New Zealanders' shopping habits. Low - price online shopping is the new normal. In 2024, New Zealand households' direct imports of low - value goods grew nearly one - third year - on - year, doubling since pre - pandemic. The whole e - commerce market expanded, with online shopping volume up 9% last year. Temu's global growth suits the trend of more online shopping and price - sensitivity. In New Zealand's tight financial and high - inflation environment, consumers turn to cheaper platforms. This trend also challenges economic statistics as low - value packages may not be fully counted.

 

4. 32% of US Consumers Want Quick Brand Responses

Emplifi's Social Pulse report, based on 1,000 US social media users, reveals consumers' interaction with brands. Consumers follow brands mainly for discounts, not product updates. Discounts, user - generated content, and interaction boost brand affinity. Notably, 32% of consumers expect a brand's direct - message response within an hour. Brands should post moderately, as most consumers prefer several posts a week. Avoid over - or under - posting to keep audience interest.

 

5. Amazon Launches "Buy for Me" Service

Amazon's shopping app is testing the "Buy for Me" service. If items aren't in Amazon's store, this service helps customers buy from other brands' websites. It's available in iOS and Android apps for some US customers. Amazon will first test on a limited number of brand stores and products and expand based on feedback.
