What if the OVR Vendor has passed down its GST registration number but there is no indication to show whether GST is charged for each item of goods for a consignment exceeding CIF value S$400?

Question

Accepted Answer

In this case, you should apply for In-Payment (GST) permit where import relief is not applicable (i.e., imports > S$400 via air or post and all imports via sea or land.

Where any of the two pieces of relevant GST information is not passed down to you, you should apply for In-Payment (GST) permit if import relief is not applicable.
