Shein, a Chinese fast-fashion giant, significantly increased prices for US customers, up to 377%, to offset the impact of Trump-era tariffs. The average price increase for its top 100 beauty and health products was 51%, while home goods rose by 30% and clothing by 8%. This follows the elimination of a duty-free exemption for goods from China, resulting in a 120% tariff and a $100 postage fee per item. Shein and Temu, anticipating further price increases on June 1st, have begun shifting production to Vietnam and adjusting their shipping models. The price hikes contradict Trump's claims of no inflation from tariffs.
