PAYABLE DUTIES & TAXES FOR ITEMS SHIPPED TO THE SINGAPORE
Some territories have a duty free allowance on imports, meaning that goods under a specific value are tax exempt. Singapore is no exception: imports valued over 400 SGD require a 7% duty. Some items are also subject to a proportional duty or additional tariff, including:
- Alcohol
- Tobacco
- Vehicles
- Gasoline, Petroleum and Biodiesels
To learn more about the Duty & Tariff policy in Singapore, please visit the Singapore Government webpage on Duties & Dutiable Goods. Import customs are payable upon delivery of the package to Singapore, not when they are sent from your virtual mailing address or your virtual mailing addresses. As a result, duties & tax are not included in the cost of your ShipByMail shipment.
