Which permit should I apply for if the GST registration number presented by the OVR Vendor is invalid but there is a GST paid indicator on the item?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you have information that GST registration number presented is invalid, you should verify the GST registration number with the OVR Vendor (where possible) before applying for a permit.

If you are unable to obtain a valid GST registration number from the OVR Vendor, you should declare GST payment permit where import relief is not applicable (i.e., imports > S$400 via air or post and all imports via sea or land).
