SingPost Unveils Game-Changing Affordable US Shipping Solution for E-commerce & SMEs

In an era where global e-commerce is booming, but international shipping regulations are becoming increasingly complex, SingPost is stepping up to empower Singaporean businesses. The postal giant has just unveiled its game-changing 'Small Packet – Registered' service, offering a significantly more affordable and compliant way for retail customers to send parcels to the United States.

This innovative solution is poised to be a lifeline for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and e-commerce players navigating the intricate landscape of cross-border trade.

Effective July 1, 2024, this new service replaces the previous 'ePAC' offering, providing a superior alternative to 'Speedpost Standard' with its compelling cost efficiencies.

But beyond just saving money, SingPost’s 'Small Packet – Registered' addresses a critical challenge: ensuring compliance with the stringent US Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act (STOP Act).

The STOP Act mandates the submission of Advanced Electronic Data (AED) for all inbound international mail parcels entering the United States.

This isn't just a bureaucratic formality; non-compliance can lead to severe consequences, including shipment rejections, significant delays, or even destruction of parcels. For businesses, this translates to lost revenue, frustrated customers, and reputational damage. SingPost has proactively been a designated international carrier, successfully submitting AED to the United States Postal Service (USPS) since the Act's inception, giving them unparalleled expertise in this domain.

What makes 'Small Packet – Registered' truly stand out? It's not just about affordability and compliance.

The service boasts comprehensive end-to-end tracking, allowing businesses and their customers to monitor parcels every step of the way. Additionally, it includes insurance coverage for peace of mind, protecting against potential losses or damages during transit. This combination of features makes it an ideal choice for businesses seeking reliable, secure, and cost-effective shipping.

Vincent Phang, SingPost Group Chief Executive Officer, articulated the company's vision, stating, "Supporting local businesses, especially our SMEs, is a cornerstone of SingPost’s strategy.

As e-commerce expands globally, we recognise the challenges and complexities of cross-border shipping. This new service is a testament to our commitment to leveraging our extensive network and deep postal expertise to offer solutions that are not just cost-effective but also seamlessly compliant with evolving international regulations.

We want to ensure Singaporean businesses can confidently reach their US customers without unnecessary hurdles."

By streamlining the process for submitting Advanced Electronic Data and offering competitive pricing, SingPost is effectively lowering the barriers to entry for local businesses looking to tap into the lucrative US market.

This allows them to focus on what they do best – creating great products and serving their customers – while SingPost handles the intricate logistics of international parcel delivery. 'Small Packet – Registered' is more than just a shipping service; it's a strategic partnership designed to foster growth and ensure success for Singapore’s dynamic e-commerce sector on the global stage.
