What is happening in the supply chain

SingPost serves as both Singapore’s national postal operator and a major regional transshipment hub for Southeast Asian and Chinese cross-border e-commerce (using RF...SG, RB...SG, and LP/LF barcodes). When SingPost logs Despatched to overseas (Country code: US/GB/AU/CA), the mailbag has cleared Changi export processing and been handed to the airline.
