Amazon courts China sellers with US customs-friendly warehouses

Amazon is expanding its warehousing operations in China by constructing new facilities near major ports, including a recent addition near Shanghai and a planned expansion following a similar center in Shenzhen. This move aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for trade-compliant products, driven by heightened scrutiny of imported goods at U.S. customs. By offering these warehouses, Amazon seeks to facilitate smoother export processes for Chinese sellers looking to enter the U.S. market. The development aligns with broader strategies by multinational companies to navigate complex international trade regulations and logistical challenges.
