AMAZON plans to introduce a new section on its shopping site featuring inexpensive items that ship directly from China, reports Reuters.
This move aims to compete with bargain sites like Temu and Shein. The new marketplace will offer unbranded fashion, home goods, and daily necessities, with delivery times of 9 to 11 days.
amazon is set to begin signing up merchants this summer and will start accepting inventory in the fall. Sellers can determine their product selection and pricing and produce in small batches to test demand.
It remains unclear if these shipments will use a US trade provision that exempts packages worth less than US$800 from customs duties.
Competitors Shein and Temu currently rely on this expedited clearance process for their direct-to-consumer shipments.
