France started imposing fees on the extreme end of fast fashion on Tuesday to try to curb a surge in sales of cheap clothing sold by e-commerce sites including Shein and Temu.
The charges - part of a fast-fashion law passed in June that aims to address environmental concerns from overproduction - range from €0.25 (30 U.S. cents) for a pair of boxer shorts or socks to €12 ($14) for a coat, with the amount capped at 50% of the product's pre-tax sales price.
