Temu and Shein South African crackdown looming

Chinese online retail giant Temu has gone silent regarding the looming crackdown on its alleged questionable activities in South Africa, while Shein has denied dodging customs and other taxes.

In late April, Zietsman said some “new players” aren’t adhering to tax regulations while sellers on Takealot are forced to pay import duties. It is important to note that Temu is a marketplace similar to Takealot and Amazon that allows third parties to sell on its platform, while Shein produces and sells clothes.

“Contrary to some common misperceptions, we keep prices affordable through our technology-based on-demand business model and flexible supply chain,” the company told MyBroadband.
