All traders (which include importers, exporters, transporters, freight forwarders, Customs agents) are eligible to use the ACTS to transport goods across borders but must be registered as ACTS traders with the Customs Authority of the AMS.

Traders will need to complete the 'Trader Registration Form' and 'Employee Declarant Details and Authorisation Form' here. Upon registration, Singapore Customs will issue a Trader Identification Number (TIN) to the registered ACTS trader (also known as Principal) and a Personal ID to each registered employee(s) for the submission of declarations in ACTS. A Principal can also authorise a different legal entity to submit the ACTS declaration on their behalf by submitting a Broker/Representative Authorisation Letter. Both the employee of the Principal Trader and the representative/broker authorised by the Principal Trader can submit the declaration in ACTS.
