E-Commerce Regulation
The Guidelines on Foreign Participation in Distributive Trade Services in Malaysia (“Distributive Trade Guidelines”) issued by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Costs of Living (“MDTCL”) require foreign business operators engaged in the distributive trade services sector to obtain a wholesale and retail trade approval (a “WRT Approval”) from the MDTCL prior to commencing operations.
The Distributive Trade Guidelines provide that “various other distribution formats”, which include “other types of distributive formats and unregulated sectors, including e-commerce”, fall under the purview of the MDTCL.
The Distributive Trade Guidelines do not, however, have the force of law, and no statutory penalties will be imposed for failure to obtain WRT Approval. That being said, e-commerce businesses without WRT Approval may encounter administrative difficulties with various government authorities if they wish to establish a local presence in Malaysia.
电子商务监管
马来西亚国内贸易及生活成本部（Ministry of Domestic Trade and Costs of Living，简称 MDTCL）发布的《马来西亚分销贸易服务外资参与指南》（Distributive Trade Guidelines）规定，从事分销贸易服务领域的外资企业，在开展业务之前，须向 MDTCL 申请并取得批发与零售贸易批准（Wholesale and Retail Trade Approval，简称 WRT Approval）。
《分销贸易指南》进一步说明，“其他各种分销形式”亦属于 MDTCL 的监管范围，其中包括“其他类型的分销模式及尚未受监管的领域，包括电子商务”。
然而，需要注意的是，《分销贸易指南》本身并不具有法律效力，未取得 WRT Approval 亦不会产生任何法定处罚。尽管如此，未持有 WRT Approval 的电子商务企业，在有意于马来西亚设立本地业务或实体时，可能会在与各政府部门的行政程序中遇到实际操作上的困难。
