Temu is going “local” after the US President raised tariffs by 10% on all imports from China. President Trump removed the “de minimis exemption” this week, citing it creates an uneven playing field that benefits Chinese e-retailers at the expense of US companies.

Donald Trump's last trade war with China allowed Shein and Temu to become e-commerce giants during a cost-of-living crisis. But his latest tariffs will not hurt the companies as much as those who rely on them.

The U.S. Postal Service’s decision may block or delay parcels from retailers including Shein and Temu from entering the United States.
