WRT Approval WRT许可
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（MDTCL）发布
的《外国企业参与马来西亚分销贸易服务指南》
（“分销贸易指南”）要求从事分销贸易服务行业的
外国企业经营者在开展业务前，必须获得MDTCL
颁发的批发零售贸易许可（“WRT许可”）。
该指南规定，“其他各种分销形式”，包括“其他类型
的分销形式和非监管行业，例如电子商务”，
均在MDTCL的管辖范围内。然而，该指南不具有法律
效力，未获得WRT许可不会受到任何法定处罚。
尽管如此，未获得WRT许可的电子商务企业若
想在马来西亚开展业务，可能会遇到与各政府
部门相关的行政困难。
