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, contains dutiable liqour and tobacco products, and will not be subsequently removed from Keppel FTZ to another FTZ.

To determine whether your goods' movements are considered as transhipment, please refer to here on Quick Guide for Transhipping Goods for more information on the various transhipment scenarios and permit requirements.

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. 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.
