Impactful Policy Frameworks
INFORM Consumers Act (2022)
The 'Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act' requires online marketplaces like Amazon to verify and disclose certain high-volume third-party sellers' information to consumers.
This policy increases transparency for consumers and places a greater burden on third-party sellers and the agencies supporting them, like Ecomm Inroads, to comply with verification requirements.
Amazon's Supply Chain Standards and Responsible Sourcing (Ongoing)
While not a direct government policy, Amazon continuously updates its internal policies regarding supply chain ethics, labor practices, and environmental responsibility, which sellers must adhere to.
These standards necessitate that Ecomm Inroads' clients ensure their sourcing and operational practices align with Amazon's evolving requirements, potentially impacting product cost and logistics.
Digital Services Act (DSA) (EU, 2024 effective)
Although an EU regulation, the DSA impacts global marketplaces like Amazon operating in the EU, imposing stringent rules on online platforms regarding content moderation, transparency, and accountability for illegal and harmful content/products.
For Ecomm Inroads' clients expanding globally, especially into the EU, compliance with DSA will be critical for product listings, advertising, and handling customer complaints, influencing their global expansion strategies.
