While President Donald Trump has imposed a 145% tariff on China—a policy that will inevitably increase prices for U.S. consumers—Trump has also explicitly targeted the “de minimis” exemptions that allowed some China e-commerce companies like Temu and Shein to ship exceptionally cheap products to the U.S. Trump’s new trade policies emphasize extra duties on individual products coming from China. Last week, both Temu and Shein said in near-identical statements they would make “price adjustments” to their products starting April 25 due to “recent changes in global trade rules.” Retroid still hasn’t offered any word what it will do for future products, but considering the reaction from the rest of this niche industry, it’s not looking good.
