Temu Boosts Overseas Local Warehousing and Distribution Infrastructure to Adapt to EU Regulatory and Tariff Policy Adjustments

According to foreign media reports, relevant information indicates that cross-border e-commerce platform Temu is facing multiple challenges brought about by changes in the regulatory environment represented by the European Union, and the platform will adapt to relevant policy changes through a series of adjustments on the supply chain side.

In response to the adjustment of EU tariff policies, Temu will continue to introduce and support more high-quality local merchants to expand the supply of local goods.

In terms of logistics supporting layout, the platform will accelerate the construction of local warehousing and distribution infrastructure, expand the coverage of local distribution, deeply integrate into the markets it serves, and better respond to fluctuations and changes in the external environment.

Meanwhile, Temu will continue to improve platform governance, enhance product quality, and strengthen consumer rights protection.

Lei Chen, Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Temu's parent company PDD Holdings, mentioned in relevant public communications that the global trade and regulatory environment has continued to evolve since the beginning of this year, bringing significant challenges while also giving rise to new opportunities. The platform will, based on its unique positioning in global trade, build a consumer-trustworthy platform in the long term.

The investment in the platform's logistics and fulfillment links is oriented towards improving consumer experience and solving the actual operational pain points of merchants, and only carries out prudent and targeted investment in areas that can create actual value. In some overseas markets, the scattered point-to-point shipping model adopted by merchants makes it difficult to obtain economies of scale through consolidated shipping, resulting in high overall fulfillment costs and failure to meet some consumer demand. For such markets, the platform will selectively invest in the development and operation of transit warehouses to help local merchants simplify the fulfillment process and lower logistics thresholds, while providing more reliable delivery experiences for local consumers.

By strengthening supply chain capabilities and improving the efficiency and reliability of fulfillment services, the platform will achieve upgraded consumer experience, build a virtuous cycle of supply and demand, and enhance long-term sustainable endogenous growth capabilities.
