Reciprocal Tariffs being collected yet?
Has anyone been able to confirm if shipments that were already in transit before April 9th are exempt from the reciprocal tariff rate? I know the initial round of 20% on China is being collected, but I read on the White House website that there was an exemption on the reciprocal tariffs for freight en route. Anyone had any shipments come in yesterday/today that can confirm that?
Thanks!

Cannot access my Seller Account
Hi everyone,
After spending two days trying to get help from Amazon with no success, I’m hoping someone here might have some insight on how to move forward.
About a year ago, a seller account was created under my name and address. The person who set it up doesn’t remember which email was used. I’m now trying to gain access to that account so I can use it myself.
When I contact Amazon, they say they can only help if I provide the email address, phone number, or an order number associated with the account—none of which I have.
Is that really the only way to recover a lost account? Doesn’t Amazon have a process where they can verify your identity using your name, address, or even SSN to grant access?

Does anyone know how to override “You already have high days of supply for this ASIN in our fulfillment centers. This product must be removed from this shipment. Consider alternative low cost warehousing and storage solutions such as Amazon Warehousing and Distribution Learn more”
I have inventory coming from China that will not be available another 2 months, Amazon prevents me from replenishing inventory now and it’s almost out of stock.

Supplying more than one market from one Amazon location.
I’m looking to send my first batch of stock to Singapore FBA warehouse. I’ve got my account up and running and chose to sell on the Singapore Amazon site to get started. I live in Malaysia so it’s easier to send my books there. I plan to make them available to other markets mainly the UK. Will I still be able to sell to the uk market while the stock is in Singapore? Will Amazon send the orders to the UK and adjust postage to reflect the longer distance?
