Overview
- Customs inspected 320,474 parcels containing more than 500,000 items during a November 6 operation at Roissy-CDG.
- About 25% of non-textile products were flagged for counterfeiting, missing cosmetic markings or documentation, or toy safety breaches.
- Textile goods showed few issues, a result officials link to Shein shutting its marketplace shortly before the sweep.
- A Paris court rejected a provisional platform blockade as disproportionate, and the government has appealed; authorities have not specified any ensuing penalties or procès-verbaux.
- Shein says it launched an internal audit and is gradually reauthorising vetted third-party sellers; small-parcel imports have surged, and the EU plans a €3 levy per parcel from July 2026 with France considering €5.
