UK senders will need to complete a commercial invoice to allow their packages to pass through Singaporean customs. This is so border officials can correctly identify whether the items inside are subject to import duties and how much they need to charge.
Imports and exports from Singapore may also require senders to complete a Single Administrative Document (SAD) that declares your goods with customs authorities in the region.
PACK & SEND understands the ins and outs of Asia’s regional customs regulations. So, we’ll do all the heavy lifting to minimise any delays or issues in shipping.
During transit, we’ll inform you of any customs clearance issues if they do arise. However, we work with you before shipping to avoid any problems.

Before shipping, you’ll need to check your items don’t fall into the restricted or prohibited categories. Be sure to double-check the quantities and allowances for your restricted items and source any licenses you’ll need ahead of time.
For example, the Singaporean government has banned chewing gum, chewing tobacco and any imitation tobacco products like e-cigarettes. Check out the full list of prohibited and restricted products before organising your shipment.
