US considers putting Amazon overseas websites on counterfeit blacklist – report

Amazon says in response it 'strictly prohibits' counterfeit products and invests heavily to protect customers from them

The Trump administration is considering putting some of Amazon.com Inc's overseas websites on a list of global marketplaces known for counterfeit goods, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The action would be taken by the US Trade Representative's Office through its annual "notorious markets" list, the report said, adding that no decisions had been made and that similar proposals last year were eventually discarded.
