All food items physically brought into Singapore, including those carried by transit passengers, are subject to prevailing limits. This applies regardless of your intended final destination or whether you intend to consume the food while in Singapore.

If you are travelling as a group or family, each traveller is entitled to their own individual limit.

f the quantity of food items you are carrying falls within the private consumption limit across all travellers in your group, no import permit is required. However, if the quantity exceeds the limit, you will need to obtain the relevant import permit.

For food items that may be subject to Customs declarations and Goods and Services Tax (GST), you may refer to Singapore Customs.

As you are transiting through Singapore, we would also advise checking with the relevant authorities of your final destination on their import requirements for the food items you are carrying.
