Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Chinese e-commerce platform Temu has taken its dispute with Mercado Libre to federal court after Argentina's largest online marketplace accused it of unfair competition.
Mercado Libre filed a complaint in August 2025 with Argentina's Secretariat of Industry and Commerce, alleging Temu violated Commercial Fairness Decree No. 274/2019, which governs truthful advertising and fair competition in the country.
After reviewing the filing, the National Directorate of Policies for the Development of the Domestic Market opened an investigation and ordered Temu to suspend digital advertising and promotions deemed misleading.
In response, Temu turned to federal court Wednesday to try to halt the administrative measure and maintain its operations in Argentina, Argentine daily La Nacion reported.
