Tax overview

Customs duty

Any applicable customs duties must be assessed separately for the goods. The GST source does not establish one general customs duty rate.

Import VAT / GST / other taxes

Import GST is 9% of the total CIF value (cost, insurance and freight), duties payable, commission and other incidental charges, according to IRAS.

Exemptions & low-value shipments

Exemptions, relief or GST suspension arrangements may apply. No low-value exemption is confirmed in this guide; verify eligibility before shipping.
