France imposes surcharges on ultra fast fashion: from €0.25 to over €10 per item

France has introduced additional surcharges on ultra fast fashion clothing starting Tuesday, targeting the cheapest items sold mainly by Chinese platforms such as Shein and Temu. The levy ranges from €0.25 to over €10 per item depending on the product type and criteria applied. The measure is designed to curb the mass sale of cheap, low-quality garments.
