We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s Senior Brand Evangelist, Shivali Patel. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10’s newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level.
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/
The LATEST UPDATE is just hours after the 104% tariffs took effect and this video was filmed. President Trump announced a surprise three-month (90-day) pause on all reciprocal tariffs—except those on China, which have now increased to 125%. While global markets are surging on the news, note that the harsher penalties on Chinese imports remain in full force. We recommend sellers keep a close, watchful eye as news develops.

By navigating to your Orders page and selecting the Influencers tab, you’ll see a history scanner that breaks down all your past purchases, showing which listings include your videos—categorized by top, bottom, both, or none. It also displays key performance metrics like onsite/offsite commissions, 30-day revenue, and carousel saturation, helping you track what’s working without leaving the page.
Helium 10’s Cerebro is the only reverse ASIN tool that shows all seven pages of Amazon search results—covering all 306 organic and 110 sponsored positions—so you never miss keyword shifts due to Amazon’s search shuffle. In addition to comprehensive keyword tracking, Cerebro uniquely reveals where a product appears in sponsored brand ads, video ads, and Amazon-specific widgets like “Amazon’s Choice,” giving sellers unmatched insight for competitive targeting. Join us for insights on these pivotal developments shaping the future of trade and e-commerce.
