🔴 Key Focus

Amazon Corrects China-Related Tax Data, Sellers' Historical Filings Face Retroactive Verification

Amazon proactively corrected Q4 2025 China-related tax data and re-filed, meaning sellers' historical filings may be subject to retroactive comparison by the platform and tax authorities, with risks of back taxes and adjustments. It is recommended to immediately export the Q4 2025 tax report, check income, costs, and tax deduction items one by one, and retain records; if there are discrepancies, proactively contact a tax agent for assessment.

💡 Today's Insight

Tax and customs compliance has entered a period of dual tightening: "retroactive + proactive." The correction of China-related tax data and the expansion of the 321 pilot mean that low-value direct mail and historical filings are no longer a gray area. This week, complete three tasks: ① verify Q4 2025 filing records; ② update 321 declaration fields and confirm with logistics providers; ③ comprehensively clean up duplicate ASINs and refurbished links. Meanwhile, Brazil's duty-free policy and Southeast Asia's high live-stream growth remain incremental windows, but they require local compliance and logistics capabilities; blind product dumping increases risk.
