## About

World's largest B2B e-commerce platform connecting manufacturers with wholesale buyers

## Activity summary

Accessible in Syria. The site and app are reported to be browsable from Syrian connections. A single community report in February 2026 suggested that purchases may fail when Syria is selected as the destination, but no evidence was provided and this has not been verified. No outreach to the company has been made.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-15 — Note. Community report indicates that while Alibaba's website and app are browsable from Syria, purchasing is blocked when Syria is selected as a destination. The user reports that simply typing "Syria" in address fields blocks the transaction. This suggests the service may be restricted rather than fully accessible. No evidence screenshots were provided — further verification needed.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
