642K e-commerce parcels entered Jordan in 2020

Some 641,807 e-commerce parcels entered the Kingdom in 2020, according to the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC).

In a statement to Petra, the TRC indicated that the number of the parcels during the second half of 2020 had increased by 72 percent, as global markets and customs outlets opened their doors wider than the first six months of the same year in light of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.

The commission revealed that 87 percent of postal operators plan to manage delivery services in light of e-commerce, despite some obstacles that prevent the growth of this kind of trade, the most of which are real-time tax and fee estimates in addition to cost transparency.
