Americans love Shein, Temu and AliExpress for two reasons: low prices and fast shipping. Trump’s tariffs could change that. His tariff orders reversed a long-standing shipping loophole: the de minimis exemption.

A decision by President Trump to close a tariff loophole could change the landscape of online shopping, particularly for the Chinese e-commerce companies behind wildly successful sites, such as Shein and Temu.

The era of cheap "fast fashion" might be over. President Donald Trump's new tariffs on China will make purchases from Shein and Temu more expensive — and that's if the shipments can even get into the United States.

President Donald Trump’s push to tariff goods from Canada, Mexico and China included a change to how online purchases will be taxed when they enter the U.S.

Fast-fashion retailer Shein and online dollar-store Temu, both of which sell products ranging from toys to smartphones, have grown rapidly in the U.S. thanks in part to the "de minimis" exemption enabling them to keep prices low.

Donald Trump’s crackdown on tariff-free access for small goods could threaten the business models of Chinese ecommerce groups Shein and Temu by raising their costs while benefiting Amazon, analysts said.

Along with blanket tariffs on goods from China, Canada, and Mexico, Donald Trump has proposed closing the de minimis exception claimed by ultracheap retailers with roots in China.

Analysts said Trump's plan to target a tariff exemption utilized by Temu and Shein could hit Meta's ad sales. Some AI startups are itching to finally go public; other tech startups that are just 'AI-adjacent' are hoping the tech can boost their share prices.
