Singapore Import Tax on Duties & Dutiable Goods<\/h2>\n

\"SingaporeGoods which are imported or manufactured in Singapore will be subject to the Singapore import tax on duties and dutiable goods.<\/p>\n

These goods will be subjected to Singapore\u2019s customs duty<\/a> and\/or excise duty. Customs duties in Singapore are levied upon goods which have been imported into the country, and this excludes<\/em> excise duty.<\/p>\n

Excise duty, on the other hand, is levied upon goods which have been manufactured or imported into Singapore. There are four categories which encompass dutiable goods, which are motor vehicles, petroleum products and biodiesel blends, tobacco products and intoxicating liquors. Duties on these goods are taxed based on ad valorem or specific rates.<\/p>\n

Ad valorem rates refer to the percentage of the goods\u2019 customs value. Specific rates are when goods are taxed based on the specified amount per unit of the weight or quantity. A list of other dutiable goods in Singapore can be found read more about List of Dutiable Goods<\/a>.<\/p>\n
