I would like to know what do Singaporeans or other ASEAN members think of their fellow ASEAN neighbours? If their was a "ladder of heir-achy" which displayed highly respected nations of ASEAN at the top and nations who are respected quiet lowly at the bottom how would the ladder be displayed?

Here are the general steps to handle shipments from ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries:

Documentation

• Commercial Invoice: Prepare a detailed invoice that includes the description of goods, quantity, value, and terms of sale. It's essential for customs valuation and duty calculation.
• Bill of Lading or Air Waybill: For sea shipments, a bill of lading is used. It acts as a receipt of goods from the carrier, a contract of carriage, and a document of title. For air freight, an air waybill serves similar functions but is not a document of title.
• Packing List: This details the contents of each package, including weights and dimensions, helping to identify the goods during transit and at customs.
• Certificate of Origin: Proves the country where the goods were produced. In the context of ASEAN, it may entitle the goods to preferential tariff treatment under free trade agreements like the ASEAN - China Free Trade Area.

Customs Clearance

• Determine Tariffs and Duties: Look up the applicable tariff codes for your goods. ASEAN countries have their own tariff schedules, but free trade agreements can reduce or eliminate duties on many products.
• Submit Documentation to Customs: File the necessary paperwork electronically or in person at the customs office of the destination country. The customs authorities will review the documents and may inspect the goods.
• Pay Duties and Taxes: If applicable, pay the required duties, taxes, or other fees such as value - added tax (VAT).

Logistics and Transportation

• Choose a Freight Mode: Decide whether to ship by sea, air, or land (if possible). Sea freight is usually more cost - effective for large shipments, while air freight is quicker but more expensive.
• Select a Freight Forwarder or Carrier: A reliable freight forwarder can handle the logistics, including booking cargo space, arranging transportation, and managing documentation. They have the expertise to navigate the regulations and requirements of different ASEAN countries.
• Track the Shipment: Use the tracking number provided by the carrier or freight forwarder to monitor the progress of the shipment and keep your customers informed.

Compliance and Regulations

• Product Standards and Regulations: Ensure your goods meet the technical and safety standards of the destination ASEAN country. For example, some products may require specific certifications like CE - equivalent markings in certain ASEAN markets.
• Import Restrictions and Prohibitions: Be aware of any goods that are restricted or prohibited from import in the target country. These can include certain agricultural products, hazardous materials, or items that may affect national security.

Hey everyone, going to be in Thailand April and planning a trip over to Cambodia for a week, looking to take my dads scooter across the border and into cambodia. I have a full uk licence but no Thai or cambodia licence, wondering if it’s easy to just grab visa and go through or if issues will arise. Trying to avoid trains and 350 return flights 🙏🫡

Trump won. What will happen to our nation? The USA has been the main protector against Chinese aggression in SEA, with Trump being all friendly with Putin and Xi Jinping, what will happen to us?

All opinions are welcome but please respect this post and other people’s opinions

If you were to add any new objectives to ASEAN with regards to current issues revolving South East Asia of today, what would they be?
