France Drops Shein Suspension After Illegal Listings Removed, Keeps Platform Under Close Watch

The platform remains under tight monitoring pending court proceedings following a 48-hour ultimatum that forced the removal of banned items.

Overview

  • The government said Shein has taken down all illicit products in France, so the 48-hour administrative suspension procedure has been halted, with the site remaining under state surveillance.
  • Shein suspended its French marketplace for third‑party sellers, limiting sales to its own brand, and provided proof of compliance after checks by the DGCCRF.
  • Customs opened about 200,000 Shein parcels at Roissy‑CDG in an unprecedented sweep, with officials reporting numerous non‑compliant items and ongoing inspections.
  • Judicial actions continue as the Interior Ministry moves for a court order to block the site and the Paris prosecutor pursues multiple inquiries, including four cases handled by the Office for Minors.
  • Ministers rejected a meeting with Shein’s Donald Tang and signaled new procedures against other platforms, with a further situation update due next week.
