The online marketplace says it will move to a "local fulfillment model" in the US, with sales handled by locally based sellers.

Temu has said it will stop selling goods imported from China in the US directly to customers from its platform.

The online marketplace said sales would now be handled by “locally based sellers”, with orders fulfilled from within the country.

The move comes as a duty-free rule for low-value packages is closed.

Temu, and rival Chinese retail giant Shein, had previously relied on the so-called “de minimis” exemption to sell and ship low-value items (under $800) directly to the US without having to pay duties or import taxes.

    If anything Im honestly kind of pissed that Temu and these garbage companies found a way to keep funneling this shit here. Id be perfectly happy if we somehow banned this shit entirely from being sold.

    Just ban all the 10¢ junk companies across the board. The shit isnt worth the exhaust gasses of the ships it sails in on. Force US consumers to buy half-decent products from local stores or non-junk companies
