How can I find out if my goods are controlled or regulated for import or export?

Question

Accepted Answer

To determine if your goods are controlled in Singapore, you can obtain the 8-digit HS code for the goods from the HS/CA Product Code Checker to identify the Competent Authority(ies) (CAs) for the particular HS code.

If your goods are controlled, you are advised to check directly with the relevant CA on their licensing requirements prior to the importation or exportation of your goods.

Please note that normal import and export procedures and documentation requirements will apply even if your HS code does not fall under any CA's purview.
