Chinese retailers that sell on Shein and PDD Holdings' Temu platform say they have been asked by logistics agents to start paying an additional 30 percent levy.

The extra fee came after President Donald Trump hiked tariffs on goods imported to the United States from China and Hong Kong earlier this week.

The additional 30 percent of the retail value of goods being sold must be paid in the form of a deposit, which agents will then return or ask to be topped up depending on actual tax charges from US customs.
