Planned Hong Kong stock market debut
Shein is expected to list on the Hong Kong stock exchange, raising up to HK$14bn before any exercise of the extra 42 million share option.
Shein publishes Hong Kong listing notice
Shein sets an indicative share price of HK$47.60–49.50 and a valuation range of HK$202–210bn, offering 280 million shares.
EU imposes €3 duty on small parcels
The EU introduces a three-euro duty on small parcels imported from outside the trading bloc, further squeezing cross-border e-commerce economics.
US removes de minimis tariff exemption
The US scraps the de minimis exemption on small packages, which Shein had used to ship garments directly from China to US customers.
Shein begins planning to float
Shein starts working toward an IPO, with later attempts in New York and London failing amid political and regulatory scrutiny.
Private fundraising values Shein above US$100bn
Shein's 2022 private round reportedly gives it a peak valuation of more than US$100 billion, a level far above the eventual IPO range.
Shein's pricing at US$26–27bn confirms a dramatically lower valuation as US and EU tariff changes hit the direct-from-China model. For retailers, the listing signals rising cross-border logistics costs and a shift toward local fulfillment.
Shein’s planned $30-$40 billion Hong Kong IPO reflects a steep valuation cut from its 2022 peak, driven by slowing demand and new U.S. tariffs on small packages. The listing, expected as early as mid-August, will test investor appetite for fast-fashion retail in a fragmented trade environment.
