France Fines Shein More Than €22 Million

Written by: Adel Khelifi on June 3, 2026

This Wednesday, June 3, French authorities announced that they had imposed two fines on the Asian platform Shein for a total of more than 22 million euros, pointing to shortcomings in product traceability, environmental disclosures, withdrawal periods, and delivery.

The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF), which depends on the Ministry of the Economy, thus increases the amount of sanctions decided in France in recent years against the Singapore-based Asian fashion giant, which sells cheap clothing manufactured in China.

These now amount to more than 210 million euros in total.
