More from US tariffs: how Trump’s tax is hitting Big Tech and beyond

In the midst of Donald Trump’s tariff chaos, prices are rising at retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Home Depot, according to data provided to The Verge by Bright Data, which tracks prices week over week. As of May 11th, for example, 21.5 percent of the 1.5 million tracked Amazon products had increased in price. Check out an interactive chart here.

So says Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, arguing the company can “adjust quickly” to tariff changes, but only if it knows “what the end game is.”

“I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday,” the president revealed during a visit to Qatar, after apparently telling the Apple CEO to stop moving its manufacturing to India. Apple has reportedly planned to use its Indian infrastructure to avoid higher tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump claims the company will now be “upping their production in the United States,” but there are many reasons an American iPhone just won’t happen.

The company has been working to move manufacturing out of the country, as detailed by GeekWire. It recently paid $255,000 in tariffs on $167,000 worth of goods.

The New York Times walked through one business owner’s tariff bill, breaking out all the taxes that stack on top of each other. On April 27th when the shipment arrived in the US, the total cost of tariffs was $34,389. Today, the tariff rate would be $12,954 now that Trump has slashed rates. His frequent tariff changes mean everyone is in a constant state of uncertainty.

Adafruit Industries, which sells electronics like Raspberry Pis, LEDs, Arduino kits, and more, says in a blog post published Thursday that it just got hit with its first big bill where Trump’s tariffs added duties; in this case, a 125 percent + 20 percent + 25 percent import markup.

This week, “leading pop culture lifestyle brand” Funko announced price adjustments for Funko, Loungefly, and Mondo products that will include bumping the MSRP of a standard Pop! figure from $12 to $14.99 in July. Its blog post says, “From rising tariffs to shipping to raw materials, the cost of creating our products has gone up significantly,” and “we’re opting to absorb a big part of the increase behind the scenes.”

Beginning May 2nd, prices on vehicles such as the Mustang Mach-E EV could jump as much as $2,000, which Ford says will arrive in US dealer lots by late June. The news comes after Ford declared the Trump administration’s tariffs are adding about $2.5 billion of costs for the company in 2025.

DC Rainmaker noticed that Wahoo Fitness is adding a $50 surcharge to orders of its new $199.99 TRACKR Radar, but only if you live in the US where the de minimis exception has been repealed. The same order placed in Europe for the made in China device suffers no such “service charge” and shipping is free and twice as fast.

Drop-shipping packages straight from China to shoppers’ homes was kind of the whole point of retailers like Temu. In response to Donald Trump’s tariffs, Temu now tells Wired that it’s switching to a “local fulfillment model” where orders come from US warehouses. With the de minimis exception officially dead (at least for now), it’s no surprise that retailers are scrambling — especially sites like Temu, whose wide product offerings depended on the exception.

The budget smart home company posted its first tariff bill on X this afternoon, adding that it’s been working on moving manufacturing out of China for a year and will “probably be out in 60 days.”
