Chinese ecommerce platforms Temu and Shein have started raising prices and temporarily unlisting some products on their websites in response to new tariffs on Chinese imports.

President Donald Trump signed another executive order on Friday walking back a key part of the new tariffs.

The abrupt reversal comes after a chaotic week for the ecommerce industry, which scrambled to respond to Trump ’s decision.

Shein and Temu have been shipping goods from China to the U.S. in as little as a few days, rather than via ocean freight, which can take weeks or over a month.

As of Friday , Temu 's US homepage was almost entirely filled with products the company specified were being shipped from local warehouses.
