Temu said it has stopped shipping products from China directly to U.S. shoppers... Items shipped directly from China... are now labeled as out of stock. Earlier this week, Temu increased prices and added “import charges” ranging from 130% to 150% on products shipped direct from …

The China to US air freight business is going to be decimated, along with a lot of related business, if Temu and SHEIN only source out of US warehouses going forward.

The “out of stock” era has begun. Temu just halted all shipments to the USA. Every product made in China now shows “out of stock.” This is just the beginning: https://www.cnbc.com/...

For too long, the same Communist Chinese companies known for egregious human rights abuses have undercut our industries by benefiting from a loophole known as de minimis. President Trump is putting American jobs first, and as of today, Communist China's free ride is over. Thank

Go to Temu right now! Temu removed all direct from China shipped items. Yes, Temu is only selling items that are in US warehouses. Ending 321 has changed everything.

my suspicion is because of the socioeconomic strata of MSM, coverage of those getting hit by the de minimis exemption going away friday will lag behind reality Temu, imo, is the new dollar general — folks who are just finding out abt the impact of tariffs are losing it [image]

De minimis exemption going away at midnight is the biggest story of the day. There is very little public/media discussion of how many people actually use sites like Temu on a regular basis. Shitty or not, it really is like the new Dollar General.

With the de minimis exemption gone, Americans can no longer buy low-cost merchandise directly from Chinese companies. So they'll have to pay more to buy higher-priced imports or domestic products instead. Even though they pay higher prices, those higher prices won't show up in

...Now, when you go on the site, almost every item you can find is “local warehouse” - no import fees. Items that ship from China is still on there if you search really hard... Of course, the local supplies will run and out and they'll need to restock from China. But I believe …

Trump just let a tariff exemption on goods under $800 expire. “Lower-income households will suffer the most... About 48% of de minimis packages [are] shipped to the poorest zip codes in the United States, while 22% were delivered to the richest ones.” https://www.cnn.com/...
