Fast fashion giant Shein is encouraging top Chinese suppliers to establish production facilities in Vietnam, Bloomberg reported, citing sources. The move aims to mitigate the impact of new U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, including the removal of the "de minimis" duty-free exemption for low-value shipments.
Shein and rival Temu, a platform operated by PDD Holdings (NASDAQ:PDD), rely heavily on this exemption to ship goods directly from China to U.S. consumers. With regulatory changes threatening their business model, Shein is offering suppliers incentives to shift manufacturing to Vietnam.
According to the report, Shein is providing temporary financial perks such as procurement price increases of up to 30%, guaranteed orders, and logistical support, including fabric transportation from China to Vietnam. However, these incentives will only be available for the early months of the transition.
Despite Bloomberg’s report, a Shein spokesperson denied any plans to expand production in Vietnam.
This strategic shift highlights Shein’s efforts to navigate evolving trade regulations while maintaining its cost-effective supply chain. As U.S. tariffs tighten, the move to Vietnam could help Shein sustain competitive pricing and market dominance in the fast fashion industry.
