Singapore Issues Standards for E-Commerce Transactions

Singapore recently implemented its national standards for e-commerce transactions, requiring businesses to list certain product information for goods sold online, a June 24 Hong Kong Trade Development Council report said. Product information must include the name, description, quantity, availability, details of the product and any associated taxes or import and export fees, the report said. The standards also extend post-purchase coverage through deliveries and include “product handling payment on delivery, self‑collection, proof of delivery and failed delivery protocols.”
