Singapore duty regime

Free port - duty is zero on almost all goods. Excise duty applies only to intoxicating liquors, tobacco, motor vehicles and petroleum. Preferential origin still matters for onward FTA usage (27 FTAs including CPTPP, RCEP, EU-Singapore, US-Singapore).

Customs notes
  • ยท Singapore Customs classifies goods under the ASEAN Harmonised Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN) - an 8-digit code aligned to the WCO HS at 6 digits.
  • ยท Every import requires a TradeNet permit before goods are cleared - even zero-duty items. Non-controlled goods clear in minutes; controlled goods (food, chemicals, medical devices) need agency approval.
  • ยท Customs value follows WTO transaction value. GST is charged on CIF + duty + insurance where applicable. Transhipment (goods staying within FTZ) is not subject to GST or duty.
  • ยท For onward FTA use, a preferential Certificate of Origin (Form D for ASEAN, Form E for ASEAN-China, RCEP CoO for RCEP) must be obtained via Singapore Customs.
