Amazon Has CHANGED Here Is How The Best Sellers Are Adjusting
For years, China was the go-to for e-commerce sourcing. It was cheap, fast, and reliable. But things have changed.
For years, China was the undisputed king of e-commerce sourcing. It was fast, cheap, and efficient. But times have changed and smart sellers are changing with them.
If you’re still relying on China alone, it’s time to adapt. Tariffs, delays, and intellectual property risks are reshaping how smart brands source their products.
Here’s how the best sellers are adjusting.
Why Sellers Are Rethinking China
COVID exposed just how fragile the global supply chain really is. Ports were jammed. Containers stalled. Sellers ran out of stock for months.
Now, add rising tariffs, stricter Amazon rules, and product copycats. It’s not just a disruption. It’s a wake-up call.
China still plays a role. But using it as your only option is a gamble.
Prototype First, Then Move
Many brands are testing products in China, then shifting production to other countries. India, Vietnam, and Mexico are growing quickly. Even U.S. manufacturers are seeing a resurgence.
When Does U.S. Manufacturing Make Sense?
Domestic production isn’t just for premium brands. If your product sells for $50 or more, it might pencil out.
Sellers are finding success in U.S.-made:
Wood products
Silicone goods
Custom plastics and packaging
It can cut freight costs, avoid tariffs, and improve delivery times. That adds up fast.
Final Thought
China isn’t going away. But it shouldn't be your only plan.
The sellers who last are the ones building flexible supply chains, exploring new regions, and protecting their margins before they’re forced to.
Start now. Because waiting could cost you everything.
