The company said the team that runs the Amazon store considered listing import charges on certain products, but that nothing has been decided.
"This was never approved and is not going to happen," Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle said in a statement to Hearst Television.
Other e-commerce websites, like Shein and Temu, have said they implemented changes to their pricing due to the cost of tariffs. Temu has even introduced a new import charge that is displayed at checkout. Both companies source most of their products from China.
Amazon shares fell about 1% in early trading.
