Under ACTS, there will be a list of prohibited, excluded and restricted list of goods maintained by each AMS based on respective security and safety requirements. As long as the product is prohibited and excluded in any one of the three (or more) AMS involved in the transit movement, the product will not be allowed to be moved under the ACTS. The system will reject the ACTS declaration if the declared AHTN 2017 HS code matches any prohibited or excluded products.

 

While Singapore allows controlled goods to be moved under ACTS, traders who wish to move controlled goods under ACTS should obtain the proper authorisation/licences from Competent Authorities (CA), and adhere to the national requirements in addition to submitting the declaration in ACTS. You may wish to check with your customers in the country of destination on their import and licensing requirements.

 

Please be informed that dutiable goods in Singapore are not allowed to be moved under the ACTS. You are advised to check with the respective Customs Authorities of the other AMS on the relevant requirements.
