12:14 PM EDT, 04/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Five Below ( FIVE ) has asked its vendors to suspend cargo shipments from China, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing a memo sent to vendors by A.P. Moller-Maersk on behalf of Five Below ( FIVE ).

The company's shares slumped as much as 10% after Maersk sent the letter to vendors. The stock was still down nearly 9% in recent trading.

The discount retail chain's move follows the tariff war between the US and China, where US tariffs on China are now around 145%.

The news outlet could not ascertain if the memo went to select Five Below ( FIVE ) vendors or all. The suspension started on Thursday.

Five Below ( FIVE ) didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
