Discount Chinese retail Temu appears to be passing on almost all of Donald Trump’s new import taxes to US consumers, more than doubling the cost of some products in a move that may add to concern about the inflationary impact of tariffs. And Shein has raised US prices of its products from dresses to kitchenware by as much as 377% ahead of imminent tariffs on small parcels.
