The Vietnamese government said it will block the internet domains and apps of Chinese online retailers Shein and Temu in the country if they have not registered their operations with the trade ministry before the end of November.

Fast-fashion retailer Shein has been selling to Vietnam for at least two years. Temu began allowing users in the country to shop last month.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has engaged with representatives from cross-border e-commerce platforms Temu and Shein, mandating them to complete business registration procedures within this month.

Vietnam said Chinese online retailers Shein and Temu need to register with the government before the end of November or it will block their internet domains and apps from being used in the country. Vietnam's government and local businesses have expressed concern about the impact of Chinese online platforms on local markets due to deep discounting.

Vietnamese government asked online retailers Shein and Temu to register with the government or risk getting blocked.
