Compliance & KYC
WUKO NEXT operates in regulated categories across multiple jurisdictions. Compliance is not a secondary layer — it is a core design principle of our supply chain service. This notice summarises the framework we expect every WUKO NEXT partner to align with.
Regulatory Scope
The WUKO NEXT service covers cross-border sourcing, logistics, fulfillment, and regional distribution of product categories including Japanese sake, whisky, craft spirits, food and beverage, and other regulated consumer goods. Our compliance posture accordingly touches customs, excise, alcohol licensing, food safety, tax, and anti-money-laundering requirements.
Partner Qualification (KYC)
Before onboarding, partners are required to complete a Know-Your-Customer (KYC) review that may include: business registration, beneficial ownership, director identification, applicable licenses, primary market of operation, and banking information for settlement.
Information is collected only to the extent necessary to verify identity, legitimacy, and regulatory eligibility. All KYC records are handled in line with our Privacy Policy and retained as required by applicable law.
Alcohol Licensing and Age Restrictions
Partners distributing regulated alcoholic products must hold all applicable import, wholesale, and retail licenses in their target market. WUKO NEXT does not sell, market, or distribute alcoholic products to individuals below the legal drinking age in any jurisdiction.
Import, Export, and Customs
SG Pipeline and SG Prime operate within Singapore’s compliant import and excise framework. Goku Origin is delivered on FOB terms from Japanese source points — partners are responsible for import, duties, customs clearance, and destination compliance in their own markets.
Sanctions and AML
WUKO PTE. LTD. screens partners and transactions against applicable sanctions lists and anti-money-laundering (AML) requirements. We reserve the right to decline or suspend partner access where risk indicators cannot be satisfactorily resolved.
Records and Audit
We maintain records of partner KYC, orders, and fulfillment sufficient to support internal audit and regulatory inquiry in the jurisdictions we operate in. Partners agree to cooperate with reasonable information requests for the purpose of meeting these obligations.
Reporting Concerns
If you become aware of conduct that appears to breach applicable law or WUKO GROUP policy, please report it to support@wukogroup.com. Reports are reviewed on a confidential basis.
