🔴 Key Focus

US Appeals Court Rules 10% General Tariff to Continue Until Late July, Double Customs Clearance Tax-Inclusive Logistics Suffers Heavy Blow

The US federal appeals court upheld the ruling to impose a 10% general tariff on global goods until late July 2026, while the White House signed an executive order to combat tax evasion such as undervaluation and order splitting. This means that export costs to the US remain elevated, and the traditional "double customs clearance tax-inclusive" gray customs clearance model faces blockage, with risks of cargo detention and fines surging. It is advised to immediately recalculate product landed costs, abandon high-risk tax-inclusive channels, switch to compliant declaration and own tax ID clearance, and reserve a buffer for tariff rate fluctuations in the pricing model.

TEMU Mandates UK and EU Authorized Representatives for All Categories, Products Without Authorized Representatives to be Banned

TEMU has enforced UK and EU authorized representative requirements for all products on the platform. Products that do not submit compliance qualification will be immediately taken down and banned from sale. If your store still sells lighting, toys, electronics, or any products requiring CE/UKCA markings, you must immediately confirm that valid UK and EU authorized representative information has been bound and ensure documents traceable; otherwise, business disruption will occur.

⏰ Already enforced, no grace period

TikTok Shop New Rules: Shelf-Life Labels, Lottery and Lucky Wheel Promotions All Stopped

TikTok Shop has mandated since June 5 that food, beauty, health supplements and other categories must display shelf life and expiration dates, and simultaneously banned any form of lottery, lucky wheel and most card game promotions. Stores violating any rule will be penalized or even permanently shut down. Sellers must immediately remove all gambling-related promotional elements, check the compliance of product labeling, and remind content collaborators to adjust live streaming and short video scripts accordingly.

⏰ Rules already in effect

Mercado Libre Mexico Launches RFC Tax ID Entity Consistency Verification, High Risk of Traffic Limitation and Store Closure

Mercado Libre Mexico has begun mandatory verification of whether sellers' RFC tax IDs are consistent with registered company entities. Inconsistent accounts will face traffic limitation up to store closure. Sellers operating on this site must log in to the backend to compare business licenses and tax information; if discrepancies exist, submit change applications immediately. Sellers without RFC registration will also have up to 20% income tax deducted directly; do not delay.

⏰ Verification has started, tight window

TikTok Shop Thailand Strictly Checks TIS Certification, Electronics Such as Hair Dryers, Power Banks Bear the Brunt

Thailand site has initiated TIS (Thai Industrial Standard) certification supplemental review for products like hair dryers, power banks, batteries; products not providing compliance proof in time will be directly taken down. Sellers in these categories must immediately contact suppliers or labs to obtain TIS certificates and upload them to the platform backend, to avoid being delisted due to compliance issues before the promotion.

💡 Today’s Insight

Today’s intensive information points to two unavoidable trends: cost rigidity and platform-wide compliance. With tariffs remaining high and double customs clearance tax-inclusive logistics being cracked down on, the low-price wholesale distribution model is rapidly shrinking; at the same time, platforms like TikTok, TEMU, and Mercado Libre are almost simultaneously tightening rules, leaving sellers no window to "quietly violate" regulations.

Actionable steps are clear: ① For exports to the US, immediately switch to own tax ID compliant customs clearance; even if short-term costs rise, it is better than goods being detained or accounts restricted; ② Spend an afternoon cross-checking all active stores — TEMU UK/EU reps, TikTok labels and promotions, Mexico RFC consistency, Thailand TIS certification; any one point triggered could lead to direct delisting; do not wait until the backend turns red before fixing.
