Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of misinformation about how the looming closure of de minimis will impact SHEIN, Temu, and other brands that relied heavily on this loophole. So I thought I’d set the record straight. De minimis has been closed for China (starting May 2) but has been reopened for other countries for the time being. But it’s clear that it’s likely to be closed once the U.S. government establishes a collection agency to handle tariffs. Now, a lot of people seem to think that the de minimis closure will completely cripple Shein, Temu, and other brands that use this loophole. That’s simply not true. Shein and Temu didn’t achieve a 60 billion dollar + valuation by saving 30-60 cents per order. The massive benefits of running a lean, rapid supply chain far outweigh the minor cost savings from the de minimis model. Tariffs are yet another example of why a real-time logistics model is better than a traditional supply chain. Here’s why: taxes are unavoidable for all businesses, including Shein and Temu. Whether they use direct from China shipping or traditional shipping containers, they’ll have to pay their fair share. But the direct from China shipping model offers way more flexibility and less financial risk compared to traditional cargo shipping. Let’s break it down how the tariffs will work. Shein and Temu will pay tariffs just like every other brand bringing inventory into the U.S. But, Shein and Temu will only pay tariffs when an order ships. This means they are only covering costs AFTER they have been paid by a customer. And they never need to pay tariffs on unsold inventory. With traditional cargo shipping, brands have to pay tariffs upfront on ALL inventory before a single unit is sold, and even if they never end up selling all the inventory. Meaning cash is locked up and further increasing financial strain. So, while Shein and Temu are paying their fair share of taxes, they’re also avoiding the risk of having cash tied up in unsold inventory. That’s a huge advantage. Just like Portless, Shein and Temu saw these changes to de minimis coming months ago. They have already started adjusting their business models, like moving more production to Vietnam, for example. We have started to do the same. We have a fulfillment center in Vietnam and are exploring other regions like India. The de minimis loophole wasn’t the key to their success. Sure, it helped. But what’s really driving their growth is their business model. They’ve built a system that minimizes cash tied up in inventory and maximizes flexibility in production runs. That’s what allows them to thrive - with or without de minimis.
