Overview
- Commerce Minister Serge Papin said he has no intention of meeting Donald Tang at this stage and emphasized that there is nothing to negotiate.
- Public Accounts Minister Amélie de Montchalin said she will not receive Shein’s leader and framed the stance as protecting French citizens rather than bargaining.
- In a letter to Bercy, Donald Tang pledged unwavering respect for French law and offered to present a compliance framework with immediate measures.
- The letter also stated Shein is prepared to suspend sales of products outside clothing as authorities pursue a suspension procedure launched after listings for childlike sex dolls and category A weapons were flagged.
- Officials said about 200,000 parcels containing roughly 1 million items were blocked at Roissy, about 100,000 items have been inspected so far, and non‑textile goods show high rates of noncompliance, with an ultimatum set for Friday to remove prohibited products.
