In general, all goods exported from Singapore must be covered by an export permit which can be obtained via the TradeNet. However, the export of certain non-dutiable and non-controlled items do not require a Customs export permit. These include, but are not limited to:

• Parcel post

• Documents

• Personal or household effects, except motor vehicles, accompanying the passenger (as hand-carried or checked-in luggage) for own use by land, sea or air

• Trade samples, specimens for analysis or test, and gifts, not exceeding S$400 in total value

• Goods exported by air (as manifested cargoes or hand-carried goods) not exceeding S$1,000 in total value

• Locally sourced stores loaded for use on board the vessel (including oil rig) and aircraft
