Singapore import GST calculator
Buying online from overseas? Singapore charges 9% GST on almost everything you import, but no customs duty on most goods. See how much and when.
How Singapore import charges work
| Value of the goods | What you pay |
|---|---|
| S$400 or less, by air or post | 9% GST charged by the overseas seller or marketplace at checkout (registered under the overseas vendor regime). |
| Over S$400, or by sea | 9% GST on the cost of the goods plus insurance and freight, collected at import, usually through the courier. |
Singapore charges customs duty only on liquor, tobacco, motor vehicles and petroleum, so clothes, electronics and most other goods pay no duty.
