Asendia, the international e‑commerce and mail specialist, today announced a strategic partnership with Singapore Post (SingPost), a leading postal and e‑commerce logistics provider.
The partnership will strengthen cross‑border e‑commerce logistics capabilities, enhancing delivery performance, scalability and market access for businesses shipping into and out of Singapore and the wider Asia‑Pacific region.
The partnership reinforces Singapore as a strategic gateway for cross‑border e‑commerce. With almost 75% of online shoppers in Singapore having purchased from overseas sellers, the country is a key destination for international sellers. It also serves as an important logistics gateway to millions of online shoppers in the APAC region.
Strategic Navigation of the 2026 EU Customs Reform
The partnership is timely as global regulators move to close taxation gaps that previously defined the sector. From 1 July 2026, the European Union will officially abolish the €150 de minimis customs duty exemption, introducing a flat €3 customs duty on all low‑value imports. These changes, aimed at leveling the playing field for traditional retail, have taken effect in a few countries since March, where authorities have imposed national handling fees. SingPost and Asendia are working to offer Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) solutions to the EU, providing a “frictionless corridor” to help merchants navigate this transition. (....)
