According to theAssociated Pressthe platforms return to their economic model in the face of the 145 % tax imposed on Chinese products. The measurement is accompanied by the abolition of the customs exemption which allowed the package of a value of less than $ 800 of entering the United States without additional costs

A policy that penalizes US customers

As a reminder, four million packages, most of which come from China, cross the American border, every day, and took advantage of this exemption. For Temu and Shein, this is a major challenge: platforms are very popular in the United States with attractive prices and aggressive marketing.

Proof that Temu and Shein are threats to American trade, according to the Wall Street JournalAmazon considers these Chinese platforms as its main competitors. Hence the launch of Amazon Haul with broken products to counter the Chinese offensive.

Faced with this situation, Temu and Shein reassure their customers as much as possible by encouraging them to continue their purchases. Companies claim to make every effort to guarantee deliveries within the scheduled time and minimize the impact of these tariff changes on consumers.

The rise in prices of TEMU and Shein could however mark a slowdown in the expansion strategy of these platforms on the American soil. Their dazzling success is based precisely on the promise of products accessible for prices that defy all competition.
