Popular Chinese shopping app Temu has been forced to suspend its services in Vietnam after it failed to register with authorities.
Vietnamese media says goods ordered on Temu are no longer being cleared through customs in Vietnam, because the company missed a deadline for the end of November, to register with the ministry of industry and trade.
Reports also say on Temu’s app, Vietnamese has been removed as an interface language.
This announcement comes after the ministry raised concerns in October over the stunningly low prices on the online marketplace and their impact on Vietnamese producers.
