Temu's remedial strategy rests on five distinct interventions designed to bring the platform into compliance with the DSA.
The platform commits to performing a tailored examination of risks specific to its operations. Alongside this, it will deploy quantifiable indicators to gauge whether its risk-mitigation efforts successfully curtail the flow of unlawful merchandise across its network.
Temu will scrutinise gaps in its moderation infrastructure and investigate the degree to which its algorithmic recommendation engine may inadvertently accelerate the circulation of prohibited items. The company will also probe how deliberate promotion and amplification of unlawful goods—particularly when merchants weaponise Temu's built-in tools to distribute potentially illicit postings—affects the platform's compliance posture.
Under the terms of its agreement, Temu must complete an interim risk assessment spanning six months by 30 November 2026, demonstrating concrete execution of its corrective roadmap within a four-month window.
The acceptance of this action plan underscores the DSA's expanding role in fortifying consumer safeguards and constraining the availability of contraband goods within European markets. The submission follows a May 2026 determination of non-compliance, when the Commission concluded that Temu had neglected its risk assessment duties and imposed a €200 million penalty.
