In effect — each user accepts at sign-up (not lawyer-reviewed). Each user accepts this document by ticking the box at sign-up, and ABSB records the version and date for that user. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer and is not legal advice.
What may not be listed or requested
Weapons, ammunition, explosives and their parts; narcotics and controlled drugs; counterfeit, pirated or trademark-infringing goods.
Endangered wildlife and products covered by CITES without a valid permit; stolen goods; goods made with forced or child labour.
Hazardous or dangerous goods, chemicals, medicines and medical devices unless you hold every licence the origin and destination require.
Any trade with sanctioned persons, companies or countries under Singapore, United Nations or other applicable sanctions.
Restricted and high-risk categories
Food, cosmetics, supplements, chemicals, medical products, dual-use goods, precious metals and cross-border agricultural goods may need extra licences and may be held for additional HQ review before they are shown.
Automatic screening blocks some terms but cannot catch everything and does not mean anything listed is lawful.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for confirming that your goods, licences, permits and counterparties are lawful in every country involved. ABSB does not perform customs, licensing or sanctions clearance for you.
Reporting and enforcement
Use “Report a problem” in the app or email comtecgl@gmail.com to report a listing or request. HQ reviews reports; outcomes range from a warning to removal of content and suspension of the account. Each action is recorded. To appeal a decision, reply to the notice or email the same address with the reason; ABSB is not an arbitrator of commercial disputes.
