Chinese Retailers Shein and Temu Experience Boost in U.S. Sales Before Tariffs

Recent U.S. trade policies seem to be producing unexpected outcomes.

A report from Bloomberg indicates that Chinese e-commerce leaders Temu and Shein have seen a notable increase in U.S. sales as American consumers hurry to buy before new tariffs take effect. Shoppers are said to be accumulating items like makeup brushes and home appliances in expectation of price increases driven by these tariffs.

Shein reported a 29% revenue increase in March compared to the same month last year, with sales rising by 38% during the first 11 days of April. Temu noted even higher growth, experiencing a 46% surge in March and a 60% rise in early April, according to Bloomberg.

This sales increase coincides with the ongoing effects of former President Donald Trump’s tariff policies on the U.S. economy. While the administration has suspended some “reciprocal” tariffs for nations other than China, tariffs on Chinese imports remain heavily enforced. A 145% tariff on Chinese goods is presently in effect, with few indications of exemptions—even for electronics, which were initially expected to be excluded.

Consequently, prices in the U.S. have started to increase, and the stock market is facing stress. In response, consumers are making purchases now to avoid further cost increases.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization, highlighted concerns regarding the widening economic gap between the U.S. and China. She cautioned that the separation of the two economies could result in a significant drop in trade—potentially by as much as 81 to 91 percent.

In light of these changes, the rush to platforms like Shein and Temu may signal future trends as global trade dynamics evolve.
