I want to import a consignment via sea and discharge it at Keppel Free Trade Zone (FTZ). What type of permit should I apply? The consignment is in storage pending exportation at a later date, contains dutiable liqour and tobacco products, and will be subsequently removed from Keppel FTZ to another FTZ.
We wish to highlight that a FTZ is a designated area in Singapore to facilitate entrepot trade and transhipment of goods. Dutiable liquor and tobacco products may be temporarily stored in the FTZ for a period of up to 30 days, pending transhipment or removal to a licensed premises, such as a Licensed Warehouse. You need to obtain an In-Non-Payment (INP) permit with declaration type "Re-Export (REX)" to cover the movement of the liquor and tobacco products to another FTZ for re-export. The INP-REX permit can only be obtained when the outward transport details are known at the time of application and when the goods are not controlled by any Competent Authority.
If a longer storage period is required, such dutiable goods must be removed from the FTZ to the licensed premises. Failure to deposit such dutiable goods in the licensed premises is an offence. You may refer to Circular 01/2020 for more information.
