MAS Notice SFA 04-N12 paragraphs 29D to 29K with RES 1B section 2.5.1.7 and RES 2B sections 6.6.7 and 6.6.8: without a classification system the overseas-listed product is classified as a SIP, so the Customer Account Review requirement applies. Classification may be outsourced, but responsibility for it stays with the CMS licence holder. Takeaway: no classification system means SIP, which means CAR.
The default classification is SIP, and it pulls the CAR in with it.
