Amazon Singapore Sellers Expand to Malaysian Market

Amazon Singapore launched the "Export to Malaysia" program, offering sellers access to more Southeast Asian consumers without extra fees or setup. FBA sellers can seamlessly integrate, while self-fulfilled sellers need to apply manually. The program simplifies customs processes, drawing on the success of the Australian and Middle Eastern sites. It highlights the significant potential of the Malaysian e-commerce market and the broader prospects of the Southeast Asian market. This initiative aims to streamline cross-border selling and tap into the growing demand in the region.

Global Standards Set for Customs Leadership Excellence

The WCO's PICARD Programme, in collaboration with the International Network of Customs Universities (INCU), has developed a set of professional development standards for customs middle and senior managers. These standards aim to enhance the leadership, management capabilities, and professional skills of customs officials. They can be flexibly applied to internal training and recruitment strategies, helping to build high-performing customs management teams capable of addressing increasingly complex international trade challenges. The standards provide a framework for continuous improvement and professional growth within customs administrations worldwide.
