E-commerce trustmark registration deferred
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has made the registration for the E-Commerce Philippine Trustmark voluntary for online sellers until the end of 2025.
This decision follows discussions with e-commerce stakeholders who raised concerns about the mandatory nature of the Trustmark, considering it an unnecessary burden and expense.
Trade Secretary Cristina Roque stated that stakeholder feedback will be used to enhance the Trustmark system for the benefit of both businesses and consumers.
The goal is to create a safer and more trustworthy e-commerce environment in the Philippines.
The DTI will review by next year whether registration will remain voluntary.
Previously, the DTI had announced that obtaining the Trustmark would be mandatory starting in 2025.
