What is the Goods and Services Tax (GST) relief for travellers?


Updated by CUSTOMS

If you are a bona fide traveller, you will be given Goods and Services Tax (GST) import relief on new articles, souvenirs, gifts and food preparations that you bring into Singapore which are for your personal use and not meant for sale. The GST import relief amount will depend on the time you spent away from Singapore. The GST import relief entitlement is S$100 for a traveller who has been away from Singapore for less than 48 hours and S$500 for a traveller who is away from Singapore for 48 hours or more. Please note that holders of a work pass, student pass, dependant pass or long-term pass issued by the Singapore Government and crew members are not eligible for GST import relief.You may wish to refer to Singapore Customs website for more information on duty-free concession and GST import relief.
