I have a consignment arriving by airfreight. Is the consignment eligible for GST relief?

Question

Accepted Answer

GST relief is granted for goods imported by airfreight or post (excluding dutiable goods such as intoxicating liquors and tobacco products) where the total Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value does not exceed S$400.

If the total CIF value exceeds S$400, an In-Payment "GST (including Duty Exemption)" (IPT-GST) permt has to be obtained to account for the importation and GST payment of your goods.

If your goods are controlled, regardless of value, a permit will be required to import the goods by air. Please refer to Circular No. 04/2016 for more information.
