New York (CNN) -Horas after a key exemption from the US prices lists.
“All sales in the US are now treated through local distributors, with orders full of the internal country,” said a Temu spokesman on a Friday. “Temu has been actively recruiting American distributors to register on the platform. “
Change is a primary replacement for the platform. Temu, and other Chinese electronic commerce sites such as Shein and Aliexpress, in the past they had used exemption minimis, as we know, to flood the United States of products at ultra basic costs. And while the president of the United States, Donald Trump, says he needs his new costs to assist production to the United States, Temu resolution shows how giant corporations can escape this call and see other tactics.
The de minimis failure allowed the goods of goods valued at $800 or less to enter the United States as a duty franchise, hop inspections, and long documents. Chinese e-commerce sites have undoubtedly taken the ultimate credit for the exemption, flooding the U. S. market with ultra-lobe products. But with Trump slapping punishment costs on all Chinese imports, the millions of Americans who have become dependent on those sites may locate those less affordable assets.
The vast majority of Shein and Temu products are made in China and imported into the United States, which is why the costs are so cheap.
TEMU’s new corporate jargon would possibly seem like it’s in Trump alley, but just because a product is shipped to consumers from a “local warehouse” doesn’t mean it’s made in the United States.
Sites like Temu and Shein have been building their portfolio of U. S. warehouses for years to decrease shipping times. Last year, the Biden administration also began criticizing the de minimis exemption, the Chinese sender feeling a transparent replacement of the atmosphere.
Shein started stocking goods, shipping in bulk in U. S. warehouses. U. S. As far back as last year, Chris Tang, a professor of global source chain control at the University of California, Los Angeles, has said in the past.
Bloomberg reported in February that Temu had to check its Chinese source chain, asking supplier factories to send bulk parts to US stores. When those articles are exhausted, it is not transparent if they will remain exhausted for US consumers, or if the new pieces will be the subject of the costs Trump has put in China.
For now, this means that foreign-made products are coming to Americans’ doorsteps through American distributors. Temu publicly lists its production partners.
Tang said on Friday that if there is a shortage, Temu has few options. The corporation can renew its products, which would take time and money. You can start providing “substitutes” or recommendations for similar products in stock.
Temu gave the impression of starting to increase some costs last week. But the corporate in a denial that was increasing costs.
“Temu Costs for US consumers without changes as the platform goes to a local realization model,” the company said in a press release.
Temu says in his that there are no import prices or additional prices in the delivery of pieces bought in local warehouses. In social networks, users say that the pieces are already exhausted.
One Reddit user noted that on Friday, about 60 of the parts in his cart were unavailable.
Some TEMU items are not available locally, he pointed out to another user, writing that his virtual cart of more than three hundred items has decreased in pairs. In addition to this, the user said that more pricing had been implemented unless a “local order” totals at least $30.
“Temu left!” What I saw today absolutely convinced me!”They wrote. ” Local vendors, despite acquiring safe items in advance in bulk, don’t have all those parts that interested me. “
