Vietnam has said that Chinese online retailers Shein and Temu must register with the government by the end of November or the country will block their online domains and apps from being used in the country.
About this informs Reuters.
The Vietnamese government and local businesses have expressed concern about the impact of Chinese online platforms on local markets through deep discounts. The Commerce Department also said it was concerned about the potential for counterfeit goods to be sold.
Nguyen Hoang Long, Vietnam’s deputy minister of commerce, said the ministry was working with Shein and Temu on the licensing issue.
Fast-fashion chain Shein has been selling products in Vietnam for at least two years, while Temu, owned by Chinese e-commerce giant PDD Holdings, allowed users in Vietnam to shop on its site last month.
Vietnam allows import goods worth up to 40 dollars to be exempt from value added tax. The finance ministry said most of the goods covered by this tax break are imported through e-commerce platforms and it is considering withdrawing the tax break.
