In the declaration page of the ASEAN Customs Transit System (ACTS), what do traders need to select for the Office of Departure, Office of Transit and Office of Destination?
Outgoing ACTS movement from Singapore
If you are moving goods as a non-ATT under normal procedures, you will need to plan and indicate your preferred journey route. For goods departing from Singapore, please select either Woodlands Checkpoint or Tuas Checkpoint as Office of Departure. The truck will need to be physically presented at the selected Office of Departure. The Office of Transit and Office of Destination to be selected will be located in other countries, depending on the route.
If you are moving goods as an Authorised Transit Trader (ATT) under simplified procedures, please select either Woodlands Checkpoint or Tuas Checkpoint as both Office of Departure and Office of Transit. If you select Woodlands as Office of Departure, it should also be reflected as Office of Transit. The same applies for Tuas Checkpoint.
| Non-ATT (Normal Procedures) | ATT (Simplified Procedures) | |
| Office of Departure | Tuas/Woodlands Checkpoint | Tuas/Woodlands Checkpoint |
| Office of Transit | Customs office in other country(ies) e.g. Malaysia | Tuas/Woodlands Checkpoint and Customs office in other country(ies) e.g. Malaysia |
| Office of Destination | Customs office in other country e.g. Thailand | Customs office in other country e.g. Thailand |
Incoming ACTS movement into Singapore
If you are moving goods as a non-ATT under normal procedures, the overseas trader based in country of departure should select either Woodlands Checkpoint or Tuas Checkpoint as Office of Destination in the ACTS declaration. The Office of Transit to be declared in ACTS will be the border office in Malaysia.
