Am I able to amend the departure date on the export permit if the goods are controlled?
Please be informed that you may submit electronic amendments via TradeNet within the permit validity period. Some permit fields, including departure date, cannot be amended if controlled or dutiable goods are involved. You may refer to here for the non-exhaustive list of non-amendable fields.
Alternatively, you may cancel the said permit before the permit is utilised or expired. However, the cancellation of the export permit has to be done before cargo clearance and/or prior to the cargo being loaded onto the outward conveyance. If the export permit cannot be amended or cancelled, you may submit a voluntary disclosure to Singapore Customs instead.
