France Halts Shein Suspension After Illicit Listings Removed, Keeps Firm Under Watch

The focus shifts to court remedies after short-term compliance.

Overview

  • Authorities said the DGCCRF verified that no illegal items remain after Shein scrubbed listings and temporarily shut its third‑party marketplace in France.
  • The government ended the 48‑hour administrative suspension procedure, yet the Interior Ministry has petitioned the Paris judicial court to seek a potential site block.
  • Paris prosecutors have four probes handled by the minors’ office covering several platforms, including Shein, for sexualized childlike dolls and other unlawful content.
  • Customs at Roissy‑CDG continue opening Shein parcels, with inspectors reporting many non‑compliant or illicit goods and promising sanctions from seizures.
  • France notified Chinese officials and asked the European Commission to act, with new procedures planned against additional e‑commerce marketplaces identified in inspections.
