Shein Posts $99 Million First-Quarter Loss On Hong Kong IPO Filing After U.S. Ends Duty-Free Package Rule
Shein swung to a $99 million quarterly loss in the first quarter, reversing a $395 million profit from the same period a year earlier, according to a prospectus filed for its planned Hong Kong initial public offering. The financial disclosure showed the shift followed the U.S. termination of the de minimis duty-free exemption for small cross-border packages.
The filing, published on July 26, outlines key revenue details alongside the profitability swing, underscoring how tariff and customs policy adjustments impact cross-border e-commerce ahead of a major public listing. The prospectus did not address allegations regarding cotton sourcing from China’s Xinjiang region, but explicitly flags the tariff changes as a key headwind for the company’s margin structure.
