Temu has experienced a significant decline, losing 58% of its daily users in the U.S. due to the impact of tariffs. This drop in engagement highlights the challenges that e-commerce platforms face in navigating trade regulations and their effects on consumer behavior.

The de minimis exemption, allowing duty-free import of low-value shipments under $800, has been terminated by President Trump's executive order, impacting global supply chains and increasing costs for consumers and businesses alike.

The measure aims to enhance scrutiny on imports and combat issues like illegal goods entering the country.
