Overview
- Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has triggered a suspension procedure, giving Shein 48 hours for full compliance checks by the DGCCRF, with an initial progress report due Friday.
- The Interior Ministry has asked a Paris court to order site blocking to halt what it calls grave harms to public order linked to repeated failings.
- At Roissy-CDG, customs blocked 100% of recent arrivals and plan to open about 200,000 parcels, with early findings citing illicit and non‑compliant goods including unsafe toys and cosmetics.
- France has formally urged the European Commission to act under the Digital Services Act, which allows fines up to 6% of global turnover; the Commission says it takes the case seriously and any EU‑level blocking would fall to Ireland.
- Shein says it has paused its French marketplace and some non‑apparel sales, launched an internal review and an integrity panel, and sought talks with ministers as thousands of listings vanished the same week its Paris store opened.
