The European Commission said on July 31 it charged Chinese online retailer Temu with failing to cooperate with investigators during a December 2025 raid on its European headquarters in Dublin. If upheld, the case could lead to a fine of up to 1% of Temu’s total annual turnover. The move comes as the EU steps up scrutiny of Chinese cross-border ecommerce platforms, including a €3 fee imposed from July 1 on small parcels from China that had previously been dutyfree.
