To qualify for duty-free import of your household goods to Singapore, you must meet the following requirements:

• Residency Change: You must plan to establish residency in Singapore.
• Personal Use: All items being imported must have been in your personal use for at least three months before the date of import.

Car Shipping to Singapore from the USA

Shipping a car or vehicle to Singapore is possible but is not advisable. Car import is very expensive due to high duty and registration fees. In addition, left-hand drive vehicles are not allowed, and those that are dismantled and three years older.  

However, if you still decide to get your vehicle to Singapore, you’ll need the following documents:

• Exhaust Emission Control Standard Certificate 
• Original Bill of Sale
• Insurance papers
• Vehicle registration certificate
• ID document
• Inward Declaration Permit
• Customs duty payment receipt
• Temporary Certificate of Entitlement 
• Letter from a manufacturer stating the date the auto was manufactured 

With our international car shipping service, you can export and import vehicles, such as motorbikes, caravans, and small vans. 

The Cost of Shipping a Car to Singapore

The cost of shipping a car to Singapore depends on the size of your vehicle and the shipping method you choose. At SDC International Shipping, we offer several options to suit your needs and budget:

Recommended Shipping Options

• Shared Container: This is a cost-effective option where your vehicle is shipped with other cars in a shared container. You only pay for the space your vehicle occupies, which can significantly reduce costs while still providing a safe and secure shipping environment.

• Solo Container: A more expensive option where you pay for the entire 20ft or 40ft container for your exclusive use. The advantage of this method is that you can include some of your household belongings, such as clothes or books, in the remaining unoccupied space. This provides added flexibility and convenience for those moving both a vehicle and personal items.

Why We Don’t Recommend Ro-Ro (Roll-On Roll-Off)

While Ro-Ro shipping is often considered a cheaper option, it involves driving your car onto an ocean vessel and securing it with minimal protection. Upon arrival in Singapore, your vehicle is driven off the ship and waits for collection. However, we do not recommend Ro-Ro shipping due to its higher risk of damage and exposure to the elements, theft, or other potential issues. Instead, we suggest using a shared or solo container to ensure maximum safety and protection for your vehicle.
