Asendia, a global e-commerce and mail specialist, has announced a strategic partnership with Singapore Post (SingPost) to bolster cross-border e-commerce logistics in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. This collaboration, revealed on 7 May 2026, aims to enhance delivery performance and market access for businesses shipping to and from Singapore and the wider APAC area.
The partnership comes at a crucial time as the European Union prepares to abolish the €150 de minimis customs duty exemption on 1 July 2026, introducing a flat €3 duty on all low-value imports. This change follows the US suspension of similar exemptions in August 2025. Mark Chong, CEO of SingPost, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating, “By extending our cross-border partnerships, we are providing businesses with the support to manage these complexities.”
Asendia’s recent establishment of a hub in Singapore further strengthens its presence in the region. The partnership will enable international brands and marketplace sellers on platforms like Amazon and eBay to benefit from more efficient parcel shipping into Singapore and the broader APAC region. Additionally, SingPost’s customers will gain access to Asendia’s extensive international network, facilitating expansion into Europe, North America, and beyond.
Lionel Berthe, Head of APAC at Asendia, noted that the partnership addresses key challenges such as border delays and customs clearance, as identified in Asendia’s Beyond Borders survey. The collaboration promises scalable and cost-effective growth for cross-border businesses in the region.
