AMAZON plans to launch a new section on its shopping site featuring cheap items that ship directly to overseas consumers from warehouses in China, according to slides shown to Chinese sellers, reports the Toronto Globe and Mail.
The new marketplace, Amazon's response to the rise of bargain sites like Temu and Shein, will offer unbranded fashion, home goods, and daily necessities.
According to the slides, products will be delivered to customers within 9 to 11 days.
According to the Information, amazon recently told Chinese sellers it would start signing up merchants this summer and begin accepting inventory in the fall.
Sellers joining the bargain site can determine their product selection and pricing, producing in small batches to test demand for new products.
It is unclear if these shipments will use a US trade provision that exempts individual packages worth less than US$800 from US customs duties.
E-commerce powerhouse Shein and PDD Group-owned e-retailer Temu rely on this expedited clearance process for direct-to-consumer shipments valued at $800 or less.
