Herath said that Kapruka.com will become an internationally established company in the near future, by providing its ‘Kapruka Global Shop’ service to Asia-Pacific countries that have stringent import-export controls like Sri Lanka.
“We don’t have a timeline yet but Pakistan will be our first market,” he said.
The Kapruka Global Shop was launched in Sri Lanka two years ago and has allowed Sri Lankan consumers to order goods from websites such as Amazon, Ebay and Best Buy, without encountering the Customs Department.
“You can order small things like hairclips directly but what if it’s a big thing like a laptop? You’ll have to take half a day off to go to the Customs. What if you open it and it’s not working? You’ll have to return it and there’s a whole export process. If they send a replacement, you’ll be taxed twice,” he said.
The Kapruka Global Shop manages all the processes systematically and ensures that exports and imports are kept within the law.
The business model was recognized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which praised the Kapruka Global Shop for its entrepreneurship in the Information Economy Report 2015.
