US EditionTemu to stop selling goods from China directly to US customers
- On May 2, 2025, Chinese e-commerce site Temu stopped shipping products directly from China to US customers, shifting sales to US-based sellers.
- This change followed the expiration of the de minimis exemption, a tariff loophole allowing goods under $800 to enter the US duty-free, which the Trump administration closed.
- Temu has actively recruited local sellers, fulfilled orders domestically, removed many China-shipped items, and raised prices due to high tariffs now imposed on Chinese imports.
- Import charges on some items reached around 145%, more than doubling costs, while the company said US shopper prices remain stable during the platform’s transition.
- The shift aims to support local merchants and respond to tariff policies, but consumers may face reduced availability and higher prices for formerly China-shipped goods.
