美国新航运规则针对中国 Shein 和 Temu

美国已提议对来自中国的许多低价值货物征收新税，此举旨在遏制来自 Shein 和 Temu 等购物跨境购物网站的包裹泛滥。

拜登政府表示，该计划旨在阻止滥用“豁免权”，该豁免权允许价值低于 800 美元（600 英镑）的包裹免征关税和其他费用进入美国。

美国表示，此“最低限度”政策正在帮助 Shein 和 Temu 等公司以更低的价格击败竞争对手，这些公司通常直接从制造商发货给客户。

美国在 2016 年将货物的关税和其他费用豁免额从 200 美元提高到 800 美元，以促进贸易并让官员专注于更高优先级的货物。

两家公司在声明中为自己的商业模式辩护，Temu表示“Temu 的增长并不依赖于最低限度政策，”。

Shein 表示，其成功源于其“按需商业模式”，并支持对最低限度豁免进行改革，以便所有人“平等”地应用规则。

The US has proposed rules that would hit many low-value shipments from China with new taxes - a measure aimed at curbing the flood of packages from shopping sites such as Shein and Temu.

The Biden administration said the plan was intended to stop "abuse" of an exemption that allowed packages worth less than $800 (£600) to enter the US without facing tariffs and other fees.

The US said the "de minimis" rule has helped firms such as Shein and Temu, which typically ship directly from the manufacturer to the customer, undercut competitors with lower prices.

In statements, the two companies defended their business models.

The US raised the exemption from tariffs and other fees for shipments from $200 to $800 in 2016 to facilitate trade and allow officials to focus on higher priority shipments.

"Temu's growth does not depend on the de minimis policy," it added.

Shein said its success came from its "on-demand business model" and that it supported reform of the de minimis exemption so that the rules were applied "evenly and equally".
