On Monday, the United States and China made a joint statement announcing a new stage in the trade war that temporarily pauses the tariffs the two nations imposed on each other earlier this year. For the next 90 days, China will ease duties on US imports from 125% to 10%. Over the same timeframe, the US will decrease tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%. Excluded from this deal, however, are Chinese shipments worth less than $800, which will be taxed at a rate of 120%, or a flat rate of $1

Shopping on Temu for items at bargain prices has been a joy for many customers since the e-commerce giant launched in the US in 2022, but the trade policies recently instituted by President Donald Trump have put that relationship at major risk. At the end of April, Temu raised prices and added "import charges" that were sometimes more than the cost of the products themselves. Customers balked, traffic to Temu plummeted, and sales dropped considerably. The import charges and price increases foll

In Brief Chinese retailer Temu has shifted strategy in the face of U.S. tariffs. Through executive order, President Donald Trump has ended the so-called de minimis rule, which allowed goods worth $800 or less to enter the country without tariffs. He’s also increasing tariffs on Chinese goods by more than 100%, forcing both Chinese companies like Shein and American giants like Amazon to adjust plans and hike prices. CNBC reports that Temu was affected as well, with U.S. shoppers seeing “import

It’s official: As part of President Donald Trump’s roller-coaster trade war, the de minimis exemption no longer applies to packages arriving to the United States from China as of Friday, May 2. The provision previously allowed Chinese ecommerce giants like Temu, Shein, and AliExpress, as well as American companies like Amazon, to send goods valued at less than $800 to US customers duty-free. Those same goods are now subject to tariffs as high as 145 percent. In response to the change, Shein ann

If you shop for bargain items on Temu or Shein, brace yourself -- US tariff changes have sent prices soaring. In late April, the Chinese e-commerce giants, known for bargain products, announced significant price hikes, with some items increasing by up to 377%, according to data aggregated by Bloomberg News. The price surge followed the Trump administration's revocation of the "de minimis" exemption, which previously allowed goods under $800 to enter the US from mainland China and Hong Kong duty

The popular Chinese ecommerce site Temu appears to have abruptly removed all products in the US version of its online store that ship directly to consumers from China, causing widespread confusion among both the company’s suppliers and customers.

In Brief Temu is adding “import charges” of around 145% in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on goods shipped from China, CNBC reports. The fees cost more than the products that U.S. consumers are buying, and in some cases are more than doubling the price of a standard order. For example, CNBC found that a summer dress sold on Temu for $18.47 will cost $44.68 after $26.21 in import charges. Shein has also hiked prices, but isn’t implementing an import charge, it appears.
