#504 - Do we have a deal with China?!

Author: Andy Isom | Amazon FBA Seller & Agency Founder August 13, 2025 Duration: 8:43

The latest U.S.–China tariff update just dropped, and it could have major implications for e-commerce sellers, sourcing strategies, and global supply chains.

 

In this episode, I break down what the new extension means, how it might impact Amazon and DTC brand owners, and what you should be thinking about if your products come from China.

 

Plus, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own content plans moving forward what's changing, what's staying, and how I'm approaching the next phase of growth for the podcast, YouTube, and beyond.

 

If you want to stay ahead on trade news and get a behind-the-scenes look at where my content is headed, this one's worth the listen.
