  • Importing wine for own use to Singapore via Changi

    Dear All,
    I am moving to Singapore and got a bit lost in the Customs web sites and even more after speaking to one of their operators.

    I was planning to take a box with 6 bottles of wine, 0.75 liter each. Total amount 4,5 lt wine. I plan to import this via Changi as I am letting a company organize the shipment with SQ Cargo.

    From the Customs site (http://www.customs.gov.sg/leftNav/tr...able+Goods.htm) about Dutiable Goods I get this info:

    22042911 Still wine, more than 2 ltr, not exceeding 15% alc/vol
    Custom Duty: Nil
    Excise duty: $70.00 per litre of alcohol

    The operator said to:

    1. multiply the amount of liter x the tax amount (4,5 x 70 = 315 S$)

    2. multiply this amount for the alchool percentage (315 x 0.16 = 50,5 S$)

    3. at this point I was told I need to add a sort of insurance on the value.. or something similar - what is it? and how much? (she could not be specific)

    4. last, add the 7% standard taxation (not clear if on the original value of the wine in the conutry I bought it or not).

    5. what if I don't hav ea bill for the wine or other items as they were given to me as a gift? on what will they base their 7% calculation on?

    Anyone has detailed information/experience in such field?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'd expect tax is on the duty, ie on the S$50.50
