Trump administration considers putting Amazon on “Notorious Markets” list
Trump administration is considering putting some of Amazon overseas websites on a list of global marketplaces known for counterfeit goods, reports The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The action would be taken by the US Trade Representative’s Office through its annual “notorious markets” list.
Over the years, the list has included China’s largest e-commerce platform, Taobao.com, which is owned and operated by Alibaba Group.
The Guardian notes, that no decision has been made yet and that similar proposals last year were eventually discarded.
Amazon said it “strictly prohibits” counterfeit products on its platforms and invests heavily to protect customers from such items.
“Combatting counterfeit requires collaboration across the industry – from retailers, brands, law enforcement and government – and we continue to be actively engaged with these stakeholders as we hold bad actors accountable and drive counterfeit to zero in our store,” the company said in a statement.
