E‑commerce market dynamics continue to evolve. Recent changes - such as new customs duty rules designed to curb low‑value imports - are expected to influence overall e‑commerce volumes. Despite these challenges, the core message for SPS operators remains unchanged: e‑commerce still represents a significant opportunity. SPS can actively participate in, and profit from, the continued growth of e‑commerce markets.
