Trump officially raises retaliatory tariffs against China – including 90% fee on cheap goods from US adversary
https://nypost.com/2025/04/08/us-news/trump-officially-raises-retaliatory-tariffs-against-china/

For our new feature alerts, Helium 10 has introduced two highly requested features in Blackbox. The first caters to wholesale and arbitrage sellers, allowing them to search products using UPC, EAN, or GTIN codes, even by uploading bulk lists of 200–300+ identifiers. This streamlines the process of evaluating wholesale opportunities by quickly identifying which products are on Amazon and their estimated sales. The second feature is designed for Amazon influencers, enabling them to find high-ROI products for video content. By switching to “Influencer Mode,” users can filter products by category, price range, reviews, and the number of videos in the carousel, helping them identify listings where they have a strong chance of earning commissions.
Lastly, our strategy of the week features Helium 10’s Keyword Sales Estimate feature, which goes beyond search volume to show the actual sales estimates a keyword generates. This helps sellers prioritize high-converting keywords instead of just high-traffic ones, ultimately improving ad efficiency and product targeting. For instance, while two keywords may have similar search volumes, one might convert at a much higher rate due to buyer intent. This level of insight, exclusive to Helium 10, ensures sellers focus on terms that drive actual sales. If you’re headed to the Prosper Show in Las Vegas, don't miss out on the chance to meet us and share your story—there might even be a spot for you on the Serious Sellers Podcast!
