In November 2021, The European Commission imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty under the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2011 on imports of optical fibre cables (CN code ex: 8544 70 00) from China. The original duty of 44% was amended in January 2022 by the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/72, establishing a duty on imports of 33.7%, applicable until November 2026.

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).

Fiji lacks a comprehensive framework for consumer protection 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 the scope of 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.

Fiji has adopted national legislation based on or influenced by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Commerce. This was implemented through the Electronic Transactions Act 2008, as amended by the Electronic Transactions (Amendment) Act 2017.

Fiji has not adopted national legislation based on or influenced by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Signatures.

A basic legal framework on intermediary liability for copyright infringement is absent in Fiji's law and jurisprudence.

A basic legal framework on intermediary liability beyond copyright infringement is absent in Fiji's law and jurisprudence.

(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 2024. 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 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).

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 currently possess a comprehensive legal framework governing all aspects of personal data protection. Instead, it adopts a sector-specific regulatory approach. Various legislative instruments address issues related to electronic transactions, cybercrime, and consumer protection. Notably, the Telecommunications Promulgation 2008 sets out obligations for telecommunications service providers concerning the confidentiality of customer data and the requirement to obtain consent. In addition, the Online Safety Act 2018 seeks, among other objectives, to prevent the misuse of personal information in digital environments. Additionally, the Cybercrime Act 2021 includes provisions that criminalise, inter alia, unauthorised access to computer data.

Fiji has a copyright regime under the Copyright Act 1999. However, the exceptions do not follow the fair use or fair dealing model, therefore limiting the lawful use of copyrighted work by others. Arts. 40-82 list the exceptions, which include use for criticism or review, news reporting, research or private study, educational purposes, and judicial proceedings. It is worth mentioning that the government refers to 'fair dealing' in its website, however the text of the law does not explicitly mention this term.

Copyright is not adequately enforced online in the country. The unauthorised uploading and downloading of Fijian musical works is reportedly widespread, with no effective mechanisms in place to protect creators and their intellectual property. Stakeholders have noted that the Copyright Act 1999 has failed to incorporate any provisions addressing digital piracy.
