How long can I keep my import of liquor and tobacco products in a Free Trade Zone?

Question

Accepted Answer

Liquors and tobacco products are allowed to be stored temporarily in the Free Trade Zones (FTZs) for up to 30 days from the date of cargo arrival, pending transhipment or removal to a licensed warehouse.

Please refer to Circular 01/2020 for more information on the storage of high duty goods in the FTZs.

You may liaise directly with the FTZs operators e.g. PSA Singapore, Jurong Port and Changi Airport Group (CAG) for more information on the storage charges in the various FTZs.
