Days after the critical trade loophole ended, e-commerce platform Temu overhauled its business model by stopping the shipping of Chinese-made goods to U.S. customers.

Rather than offering a large number of discounted products to American consumers, the company sells goods in the United States

Online markets will be able to keep product prices low and avoid costs associated with outsourcing goods. Temu said the items are not subject to customization fees and import fees, which are taxes collected by a national customization authority.

The move comes after the U.S. urgently needed tariffs on imports from China, and the exclusion allows parcels worth less than $800 to be exempted days after the De Minimis exemption expires.

President Donald Trump initially closed the de Minimis vulnerability in February, but delayed enforcement after no time to plan and implement policy changes as packages began to pile up.

"Temu's pricing remains unchanged as the platform transitions to a local fulfillment model," the company said in a statement to USA Today. "Now, all sales in the U.S. are processed by local sellers and orders are fulfilled from within the country."

This is what shoppers should know.

US customers will be able to avoid customization and import fees by shopping from Temu's "local warehouse" section.

According to the banner on Temu's website, all products with the "Local Warehouse" label are shipped "from your country" from within your country or region, so there is no import fee or additional delivery charges.

The company did not immediately respond to USA Today’s request, asking for clarification on whether the product could be affected by the capabilities of U.S. manufacturers.

Temu is also "actively recruiting U.S. sellers to join the platform" to help local merchants attract more customers and grow their businesses.

Temu and rival Shein warned customers about potential price increases in late April after the tariff war began between the United States and other countries, most notably China.
