I want to export a faulty local-registered motor vehicle for repairs. What are the documentation requirements that I have to comply with?
Please be informed that all goods, including locally-registered/ Duty and/or GST paid motor-vehicle, exported from Singapore on a temporary basis may be re-imported into Singapore without payment of duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST). In order to qualify, the owner of the motor-vehicle should take up a temporary export [OUT (TCI)] permit prior to the exportation of the motor-vehicle, and produce the permit together with the goods to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer during clearance at the outward checkpoint for verification.
For the temporary export [OUT (TCI)] "OO" permit application, the following documents are required for our assessment:
a) Cover letter for the temporary export of motor vehicle indicating the purpose of exportation and duration of export;
b) LTA log card or proof of previous duty and/or GST paid on the motor vehicle
c) Commercial invoice;
d) Export Bill of Lading(B/L)/Airway Bill (AWB);
e) Packing list (if any)
