Personal Effects Customs Clearance: Singapore

When shipping personal effects to Singapore with GetMyParcel, it is essential to follow the guidelines below to ensure a smooth customs clearance process:

Definition of Personal Effects

Personal effects are used items owned by the sender for at least 6 months. Examples include clothing, books, sports equipment, and household furnishings. Typically, the shipment accompanies or follows the owner's travel or relocation.

If your shipment includes new items, commercial goods, or gifts, it should not be declared as personal effects. Instead, select "Gift" or "Commercial" during booking.

Declared Value Limit for Singapore

  • The maximum declared value for personal effects shipments is:
    • $250 USD / £175 / 200€ / $300 AUD
  • Declaring a value above this limit may lead to customs delays and additional duties or taxes.

Note: The declared value is for customs purposes only and does not affect your selected GetMyParcel Complimentary Cover.

Required Documentation

  1. Packing List:
    • A detailed packing list is mandatory. For example, list items as "3 x Cotton Shirts, 2 x Jackets," rather than "10 x Used Clothing."

Customs Guidelines for Personal Effects

  • Shipments containing brand-new or commercial items may not qualify as personal effects.
  • Ensure all items meet the "used" and "owned for 6 months or more" criteria.
  • Attach all required documentation accurately to avoid delays.

Clearance Time

Most shipments are cleared by Singapore customs within 1 working day if all documentation is complete. Delays may occur due to missing documents, random inspections, or non-compliant contents.

Shipping Gifts to Singapore

  • Gifts for festive or special occasions (e.g., birthdays) can be imported duty-free if the declared value does not exceed 200 Singapore Dollars.
  • Gifts exceeding this value may incur duties and taxes.

General Tips for Smooth Shipping

  • Double-check customs regulations specific to Singapore to ensure compliance.
  • Avoid including prohibited or brand-new items in your shipment.
  • Provide all required documents and information to avoid delays or penalties.
