Shopee is an online shopping platform whose business model is to facilitate commodity transactions by connecting sellers and buyers. Therefore, Shopee is neither an export nor an import. Shopee does not own actual logistics channels, but provides a platform for sellers to sell goods to global buyers.

Sellers can export goods from their own country to the buyer's country, or store goods in local warehouses for faster delivery to buyers. At the same time, Shopee also supports buyers to purchase imported goods from sellers in other countries. Therefore, Shopee is a platform that connects global buyers and sellers, not an export or import company.
