US EditionTemu to stop selling goods from China directly to US customers
- On Friday, Temu, a Chinese e-commerce site, announced it will send all U.S. Sales via U.S.-based sellers following a tariff exemption expiration.

- Temu began bulk shipping from Chinese factories to U.S. Warehouses and raised prices recently, reflecting a shift toward local order fulfillment and distribution.
