The Emergency (Copyright) Order of 1999 provides a clear regime of copyright exceptions that follow the fair dealing model, which enables the lawful use of copyrighted work by others without obtaining permission. Sections 33-34 list the exceptions, which include the use for research, private study, criticism, and news reporting, among others.

Concession Code 212, under the Customs Tariff Act 1986, provides an exemption from duty on the importation of goods by a private individual for personal use. According to Section 4 of the Customs Tariff (Budget Amendment) Act 2024, the de minimis threshold established in Concession Code 212 was amended, reducing the value from FJD 2,000 (approx. USD 900) to FJD 1,000 (approx. USD 450). Subsequently, the Customs Tariff (Budget Amendment) Act 2025 amended the Concession Code 212 so that it applies to all goods purchased online by a private individual (subject to exclusions), while maintaining the FJD 1,000 (approx. USD 450) duty-value threshold.

Fiji lacks a comprehensive consumer protection framework that applies to online transactions. Consumer protection is currently regulated under the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission Act 2010, which provides comparatively extensive safeguards, including provisions on misleading or deceptive conduct (Art. 75), unconscionable conduct (Art. 76), referral selling (Art. 87), unsolicited goods and services (Arts. 92–94), and conditions and warranties in consumer transactions (Arts. 111–118). However, it remains unclear whether this legislation extends to online transactions.

Fiji has signed and ratified the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts. This was implemented through the Electronic Transactions Act 2008, as amended by the Electronic Transactions (Amendment) Act 2017.

(iv) if the purchaser is under 18 years of age, the signature of a parent or legal guardian.

The indicator "7.2.4 - Government Internet shut down in practice" of the V-Dem Dataset, which measures whether the government has the technical capacity to actively make internet service cease, thus interrupting domestic access to the internet or whether the government has decided to do so, has a score of 3 in Fiji for the year 2025. This corresponds to "Rarely but there have been a few occasions throughout the year when the government shut down domestic access to Internet."

According to the Fiji Trade Information Portal, all individuals and entities wishing to engage in commercial import activities must register with the Fiji Revenue & Customs Service (FRCS) and hold a valid Tax Identification Number (TIN). In addition, for certain goods, including telecommunications equipment, companies must obtain a specific import licence. Pursuant to Art. 55.4 of the Telecommunications Act 2008, any person intending to import telecommunications equipment or apparatus, including radio-transmitting devices, other than equipment exempted by regulation, is required to secure an import permit from the Telecommunications Authority of Fiji (TAF).
In addition, the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) Standard Interpretation Guideline 2025-09 identifies mobile phones and telecommunication equipment as restricted goods that require an import licence/permit from the relevant authority, specifying that the licence is issued by the Telecommunications Authority of Fiji.

Under Section 55.4 of the Telecommunications Act, any person intending to import telecommunications equipment, including radio transmitting devices except those exempted by regulation, must obtain an import permit from the Telecommunications Authority of Fiji (TAF). This requirement entails a type approval process to ensure that imported devices, such as mobile phones, comply with technical and safety standards, thereby preventing interference with networks, safeguarding public safety, and ensuring environmental compliance. Each device type is individually assessed through documentation and, where necessary, physical testing. Applicants must submit technical specifications, manufacturer authorisations, declarations and certificates of conformity with international standards, test reports from recognised laboratories (FCC, CE, Australia or ITU), and relevant type approval certifications from jurisdictions such as Australia or New Zealand. Following submission, TAF evaluates compatibility with local infrastructure and may request equipment samples before granting approval.

Fiji does not mandate functional or accounting separation for operators with significant market power (SMP) in the telecom market.

Fiji has not appended the World Trade Organization (WTO) Telecom Reference Paper to its schedule of commitments.

Fiji has a telecommunications authority, the Telecommunications Authority of Fiji (TAF), established under the Telecommunications Act 2008. However, it has been reported that the decision-making processes of TAF are not fully independent from government influence, raising concerns about the regulator’s institutional autonomy.
