- Grocers are increasingly adopting APIs to enhance their offerings and improve operational efficiency.

UK urged to close tax loophole to prevent ‘massive influx’ of Shein and Temu goods
- Ax campaigners and retailers want the UK government to close a loophole preventing a flood of cheap imports coming from marketplaces such as Shein and Temu after the EU started phasing out an exemption on customs duties for low-value parcels. The rule change, which followed the United States, could hit trade into the EU and US by marketplaces such as Shein, leading to a shock 20% cut in expectations for a planned $62bn (£50bn) IPO on the London Stock Exchange. The Fair Tax Foundation said the UK can expect more Shein and Temu products unless the government 'tightens gaping loopholes'.
- Chair of JD Sports Andy Higginson said the government should close the loophole to ensure there was a “level playing field” for all retailers in the UK. Bosses at Sainsbury’s, Superdry, Ryman, Robert Dyas and the British Independent Retailers Association have previously urged the UK government to change the rules. The EU has said it wants to ditch its €150 (£126) threshold for import duty. In the UK, the threshold for import duty is £135, while items valued at £39 or less also do not attract import VAT.
- Brad Ashton, the customs and international trade partner at the advisory company RSM UK, said the threat of 10% tariffs on Chinese goods imported into the US may also affect UK retailers if stock is made in China but fulfilled and shipped from the UK. HM Treasury declined to comment on whether any changes to UK rules were being considered.
