Shein and Temu Are in the World’s Crosshairs

  • In 2024, billions of low-value parcels, mostly from China, flooded markets like Europe and the US, raising trade and regulatory concerns worldwide.
  • This surge results from China's large manufacturing base, weak domestic demand, and government subsidies pushing excess factory capacity into exports.
  • Major retailers such as Shein and Temu lead this export wave, prompting countries to consider tariffs, fees, and inspections to protect local industries.
  • For example, the EU proposes a $3.50 flat fee on small packages, the US imposes high tariffs, and Japan reviews exemptions on parcels under $108.
  • These measures could reshape global trade flows, force supply chain shifts, and impact consumer prices while raising fears of economic harm from unchecked cheap imports.
