You may make a voluntary disclosure on the error committed. Under the Customs Voluntary Disclosure Programme (VDP), companies may voluntarily come forward in good faith to disclose errors and omissions committed by them under laws and regulations administered and enforced by Singapore Customs. More information on the VDP can be found here. Please note that our compliance officers will follow up with any procedures required to account for the GST payment.

Please also note that the Major Exporter Scheme (MES) is administered by Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Any incorrect declaration on the importer details, item description, value and quantity of the goods is under the purview of IRAS. The importer is required to account for the ME permit (including all errorneous declarations made) to IRAS during their monthly or quarterly accounting returns. The importer should also provide all relevant supporting documents (e.g. Commercial invoices, Bill of Lading (B/L)/ Air WayBill (AWB), packing list etc.) to facillitate the accounting process.
