TEMU adds ‘Import charges’ after Trump’s fees

TEMU is adding “import charge” of about 145% in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs for goods sent from China, CNBC reports.

Tariffs cost more than the products US consumers are buying, and in some cases are more than duplicating the price of a standard order. For example, CNBC revealed that a TEMU summer dress for $ 18.47 will cost $ 44.68 after $ 26.21 in import fees.

Shein has also raised prices, but is not implementing an import fee, it seems.

Movements come a few weeks after Temu and Shein warned they will raise prices To US clients starting April 25 in response to fees.

The 145% tariff on products made in China, along with Trump’s decision to put an end to a customs exemption that had allowed goods under $ 800 to enter the US without office, has broken the business models of both platforms.
