For the vast majority of ordinary people, there is a low-cost, highly controllable, compliant and legal path to entry in Singapore - the self-employed EP (Employment Pass). By registering yourself as a company owner, you can apply for a legal residence permit for yourself.

From "global asset allocation" to "family identity planning", Singapore, a small city-state, is becoming a "preferred choice" for HNWIs to cope with uncertainty.

New regulations are limited to new models, stock products are not affected, but Chinese brands such as TP-Link, which account for more than 60% of the U.S. market, face huge challenges

"The router is banned!"

March 23, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) threw a heavy bomb: national security reasons, officially all foreign production of consumer-grade home routers into the regulated list, prohibiting new models to obtain FCC certification, meaning that the future of non-U.S. home routers will not be able to legally enter the U.S. market sales.

The news quickly blew up in cross-border and tech circles. Routers, as a key device for connecting home networks, have long been dominated by Chinese brands - it is estimated that Chinese brands and OEM products occupy at least 60% of the U.S. home router market. Under the new regulations, where do these companies go from here?

Today's article gives you the lowdown: what exactly is banned under the new rules? Why is it suddenly blocked? What should affected companies do?

How can a low per-unit seller survive on a $10 item that can cost as much as $8 for return shipping?

"Another cost has gone up!" -- This is probably the truest feeling of recent TikTok Shop Southeast Asian sellers.

Following last year's mandatory local returns warehouse, TikTok Shop Southeast Asia is taking another step across the border: starting the week of April 20, 2026, merchants will be responsible for all shipping costs in both directions of the order, including the outbound and return shipping costs, for no-excuse returns initiated by consumers who have "changed their minds".

This means that whereas you used to be able to refuse these types of returns, now not only can you not do so, you have to pay the shipping costs backwards. For a $10 item, shipping costs can be as high as $6-$8 in both directions, which can eat into your profits or even lead to a loss. Today's article will give you a thorough explanation: what exactly has been changed in the new regulation? Why did it change? How much will your business be affected? What should you do now?

The platform no longer accepts sellers to upload their own reports, which must be submitted directly by ANSI-accredited organizations, and the brand and model may fail to be certified even if there is a single word difference.

"It's over, my faucet link is down!"

Over the past two days, many Amazon seller groups have blown up. A large number of sellers received Amazon's emergency compliance notice: must be in the United States time before April 3, involving drinking water contact or installed in the water supply system for a specific product, submitted in line with the "Safe Drinking Water Act" (SDWA) "lead-free" requirements of the certification documents. Failure to do so will result in a ban on the display of the relevant ASIN - what we often refer to as a "link gone to the dogs"!

Today is March 25th, with less than 10 days left until the deadline. This is not an ordinary compliance reminder, but an ultimatum before enforcement. Today's article gives you a thorough explanation: which products need to be certified? How to certify? What to do now?
