Indonesia and South Africa have called for the lifting of the moratorium on e-commerce import tariffsAt the 13th WTO Ministerial Conference (WTO13), which will be held from February 26 to 29, 2024, discussions on e-commerce import tariffs have entered a critical stage. Indonesia and South Africa have called for the lifting of the moratorium on import tariffs on e-commerce products in an effort to capture more tax revenue from the burgeoning digital** market. According to Bloomberg on February 29**, at a closed-door meeting on the same day, WTO members launched an in-depth discussion on whether to permanently or extend the two-year moratorium on e-commerce tariffs**. Developing countries such as Indonesia and South Africa see the taxation of digital ** as an important means of securing their rights and interests in global economic competition, and can even be used as a negotiating tactic to safeguard their interests. Developed countries, on the other hand, tend to maintain a global duty-free environment for Internet goods and services, especially for products sold through e-commerce. John Denton, head of the International Chamber of Commerce, stressed the importance of keeping the e-commerce sector tariff-free, saying: "One of the fundamental rules for seeing e-commerce and the digital economy grow is that there should be no tariffs on them. However, an EU** cautioned that any decision on a tariff moratorium would affect about a quarter of the world's** and could cover all types of electronic transmissions, including things like ***streams**. TikTok has become the preferred online shopping platform in Thailand, leading the new trend of "shopping and entertainment".According to a nationwide survey of 4,699 respondents by Thailand's Office of Policy and Strategy (TPSO), TikTok has become the most popular shopping channel for people under 29 in Thailand. This phenomenon is due to the platform's clever combination of shopping and entertainment, which attracts and stimulates the purchase interest of young consumers through live streaming and short** formats. At the same time, the report points out that consumers aged 50 to 59 are more likely to use e-commerce platforms such as Facebook, Shopee and Lazada to shop, mainly because these platforms have mature store management, product display systems, and reliable payment and refund mechanisms, which have established high buyer-seller trust. It is worth noting that despite the higher frequency of shopping, young consumers choose to buy low- and medium-priced items more on TikTok, and pay attention to the fun and pleasure in the shopping process. Older shoppers, on the other hand, value and quality goods and services are more valued. According to KResearch data, online consumer spending by Thais increased by an average of 30 percent in 20226%。Compared to 2020, the number of transactions per person per year increased from 250 to 557. Thais account for 95% of total retail transactions5%。The above data reflects that the growth level of online consumption of Thai people is the highest in Asia, with an average of at least 1 time per day; This is followed by Malaysia 170%, South Korea 110%, China 75%, Indonesia 57%, Singapore 28%。Thanks to the popularity of RomptPay and *** payment methods in Thailand, as well as the development of mobile banking applications, Thai people are becoming more and more accustomed to using online shopping services.

Malaysia seized illegal sarong imports, and Chinese nationals involved in the case were detained for investigationThe Malaysian Customs Department recently conducted a raid on the ground floor warehouse of a condominium in Kolom Bang, Sabah, and seized a large number of illegally imported traditional sarongs. The total value of the sarongs was RM1.6 million and was illegally imported into Malaysia from China. The operation took place at around 5 p.m. on Jan. 5, when law enforcement officers detained a Chinese citizen in his 30s to assist in the investigation of the case. According to Assistant Superintendent of the Sabah Customs Department, Mohd Nasir, at a press conference held on February 29, the number of sarongs confiscated reached 17560,000 pieces, all packed in 439 burlap bags, with a total weight of about 39.51 million kilograms. Given that sarongs are an important part of Malay traditional clothing in Malaysia and have been included in the list of goods prohibited from being imported without a licence by the Department of Customs and Excise since 2023, merchants must obtain a specific permit from the Ministry of International** and Industry to legally import sarongs. The sarongs were incorrectly described as ordinary textile cloth at the time of declaration rather than correctly coded according to their true nature. Under the Tariff Act 1967, the authorities will conduct an in-depth investigation into this violation. If convicted, offenders face severe penalties, including but not limited to paying a fine equal to 10 to 20 times the value of the goods, or imprisonment for up to three years, or both. This case demonstrates Malaysia's determination and strength to protect local culture and industries and combat smuggling activities.
