Republican leaders of two House committees are requesting United States Postal Service data on retailers' goods shipped from China under an exemption in U.S. trade law that excludes some packages worth $800 or less from tariffs.
Temu did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Shein told Reuters it does not use USPS for its shipments from China to the U.S. and continues to make import compliance "a priority."
Republican representatives Mike Gallagher, chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and James Comer, who heads the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, sent a letter on Wednesday to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy asking for “documents, information, and data” related to goods from China shipped into the United States.
The letter, seen by Reuters, also asked specifically for all records and data related to de minimis shipments from fiscal 2021 and 2022. "Chinese companies can take advantage of the de minimis rule and ship products via commercial shipping companies, as well as the USPS, directly to U.S. consumers without paying duties and fees or subjecting their products to investigation by authorities,” the request reads.
Gallagher’s select committee released a separate report earlier this week estimating that Shein and Temu accounted for more than 30% of all de minimis shipments sent to the United States.in Congress that take aim at the e-commerce companies by proposing a ban on e-commerce shipments from China and other non-market economies.
