TEMU and Shein raised prices, removing products as Trump’s tariff in China entered into force

Lorianna Calhoun, the Shin Shop, tells WIRED that among about 170 elements were once in the list of her desires, it seems that 40 now is not available. I noticed that they disappeared on Thursday afternoon. It is not clear how you might choose Shein and TeMu the elements to be removed, but Calhoun says that, at least in her case, the majority of the goods that I noticed in the event of their disappearance were eye lashes and hair products. “Usually, when selling things, you can still click the item and watch all the reviews and things,” she explained. “But for the gift, he says now,” Sorry, this element has been removed. This product does not exist. “

A Reddit user, who asked not to be identified for the reasons of privacy, shared screenshots with WIRED that show half of the products in their SHIN shopping car also not available on Thursday, primarily in the Shein’s Sheglam Cosmetics. They say they are planning to wait for it and know if the products are returning to Shein soon. Shen and Timo will still get my work. “If they raise their prices, we hope it is just a little bit,” says Reddit user.

Timo and Sheen did not respond to the Wire suspension requests.

In 2023, a third of the minimum shipments arrived in the United States from China, According to the Chinese export and US import data. Many came through air cargo in less than a few days, not by charging the ocean, which may take weeks or even more than a month.

“These companies have mastered this modern miracle, which is shipped from China to the United States in a very consistent and reliable way,” says Juozas Kaziukėnas, founder of Marketplace Pulse. Trump’s definitions announced last week the costs of companies such as Sheen and Timo, but it may also delay the shipping process as it adapts logistical services and customs mediators to government requirements.

But not all TEMU and Shein products and services have not been affected, as both companies began to store goods in US warehouses over the past few years to get customers’ orders faster. The Biden administration has also indicated repeatedly that it was interested in repairing the exemption of import duty at a minimum, which motivates companies to reduce their dependence on them.

As of Friday, the American home page in TEMU almost completely filled with the products shipped from the specified company from the local warehouses – which has already cleared American customs and may cross the borders before the definitions came into effect.
