Chinese e-retailer Temu has begun to increase "import fees" by about 145% in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs.

After the price rises, fees begin to occur on the weekend after Friday’s effective, which costs more than a single product purchased by consumers and can double the price of a typical order.

For example, CNBC analysis shows that a $26.21 import fee is added to the bill, and a summer dress sold on Temu will cost $44.68. When considering the import fee of $18.68, the price of children's swimsuits is $12.44, which will cost $31.12, which is an amazing 150% fee. Now, at $21.68 import fee, considering the $16.93 handheld vacuum cleaner now costs $40.11, which is about a 137% markup.

"Projects imported into the United States may be subject to import fees. These fees cover all customs-related processes and fees, including import fees paid to the customs department on your behalf, Temu explained on its website. "The amounts listed may not represent the actual amounts of the customs authorities."

Temu's representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Competitor discount retailer Shein also raised prices on its website, but did not seem to implement import fees. The company added a banner at checkout, stating: "The price you pay includes tariffs. You never have to pay extra fees when delivering."

Earlier this month, Temu and Shein warned that the move would raise prices after Trump's 145% tariff on many imports of Chinese imports and vowed to end the May 2 De Minimis waiver. The widespread criticism of vulnerability helped Temu and Shein's growth in the United States accelerate most packaging because it allows most packaging to join the country duties for free, as it is long below is $800 $800.

“Our operating expenses have increased due to the latest changes in global trade rules and tariffs,” Temu said on its website earlier this month. “In order to continue to provide products you like without damaging quality, we will make a price adjustment starting April 25, 2025.”

Import fees erode the value proposition that made Temu popular among consumers first. Temu, owned by Chinese e-commerce giant PDD HoldSince its launch in 2022, the United States has become increasingly popular in the United States by announcing that users can "shop like billionaires." Despite the possible long shipping times, consumers flocked to it, as the lowest prices for rocks, electronics and household items made the extra wait worth it.

Temu allows cash-strapped consumers to struggle to afford essentials like groceries and housing to wield exquisite items like new clothes or home decor without steep prices. Many of its products will now be more consistent with US competitors such as US competitors, such as US competitors. Amazon,,,,, Walmart and Targetbut it may still take more than a week to arrive.

Temu has sharply cuts its online advertising spending in the United States since Trump announced full tariffs. According to Sensor Tower, Temu always ranks behind the top 10 in the Apple App Store, ranking in the top 10. Shein is currently 54 years old, 15 years old last month.

Temu shoppers have refuted a Reddit forum in the days since the company raised prices, which condemned import fees caused by tariffs. One user in a post titled “Rip Temu”, one of the continuous posts were good, and one user wrote that the price of items “flying around” on Friday.

"From billionaires like billionaires to shopping," one user wrote in a separate Reddit post on Saturday.

Macinzi Morris, a Temu client living in southeast Missouri, said she ordered a set of juicy flower pots for $12.25 before the company started raising prices. By Friday, she said the pots rose to $30.

Morris buys yoga supplies, clothing and various other products from the site "how many times a month," but she hopes Temu items are more expensive now and she wants to shop elsewhere.

"When I get the same stuff on Amazon at the same price, usually a little faster, it doesn't make sense to pay a 140% rise," Morris said.

Prior to import fees, some news media and consumers have tracked the price increase in individual items sold on Temu. It appears that the new fees are only used for products sold in local U.S. warehouses last year, Temu has been working to build a U.S.-based distribution center to protect itself from trade tensions, with some sellers reportedly pushing some to store inventory in the U.S.

Recently, Temu has been promoting products that will be shipped directly from China to local consumers. This trend will only intensify as the company raises prices and adds additional expenses.

For example, a scan of Temu's "Lightning Trading" page on Monday showed that 75% of the products had a "local" tag on them. When consumers click on these items, a bright green banner with the word “no import fee” is highlighted at the top.
