According to state media reports, the Chinese shopping app Temu has been suspended in Vietnam for not registering with authorities.
Temu, a Chinese shopping app, has been suspended in Vietnam for failing to register with authorities by the end-of-November deadline.
Goods ordered on Temu have yet to be cleared through customs in Vietnam.
Vietnamese has been removed as an interface language on Temu’s app, with options for English, Chinese, and French.
The suspension follows concerns raised by the ministry over Temu’s low prices and their effect on local producers.
Temu is working with Vietnamese authorities to complete the required registration and has submitted the necessary documents.
The app has gained popularity in Vietnam with discounts of up to 90% and free shipping since its launch in October.
In the month Temu launched in Vietnam, the ministry raised concerns over the app’s “unusually low prices,” fearing it could harm local products.
The ministry questioned whether the goods sold in Temu are authentic.
Temu is one of the fastest-growing apps in Europe but is under investigation by the EU for selling illegal products.
In April, South Korean regulators investigated Temu for potentially unfair practices, including false advertising and poor product quality.
