Customs Info for Moving Households to Singapore
The process and the cost of shipping personal belongings vary. When it comes to customs, most household goods can be brought to the country free of duties and taxes. However, you’ll have to qualify for duty-free. In particular, you have to:
- Plan to change your residency to Singapore
- Have all the items in personal use for at least three months before import
- Import your stuff no later than six months after arriving
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
Our overseas car shipping costs are based on vehicle size and the shipping mode you choose. For example:
- RoRo (Roll-On Roll-Off) is the cheapest because your car will be driven on the ocean vessel and secured. When it arrives in Singapore, it will be driven off the ship and wait for you to collect it.
- A shared container is also considered a cheap option as your vehicle will be shipped with other cars in a container. It means you will only pay for the place your vehicle occupies in this container.
- A solo container is the most costly. A client pays for the entire 20ft or 40ft container for his sole use. The advantage of this method is that you can include some of your household belongings (e.g., clothes or books) in the remaining unoccupied space.
