How to Import from Singapore to the Philippines: The Smart Way

Importing from Singapore to the Philippines can be smooth if you follow the right steps. Here’s a simplified guide to help you navigate the process.

What to Do Before Importing

  1. Check for Restricted Goods: Make sure Singapore’s Competent Authorities don’t restrict the items you want to import. If they are, you may need additional permits.
  2. Understand Duties and GST Payments: Know if your goods require duties or payments for Goods and Services Tax (GST). Goods like liquors, tobacco, vehicles, and petroleum products usually have extra fees.
  3. Obtain a Customs Permit: You’ll need to appoint a Declaring Agent or register as one to get your customs permit through Singapore’s TradeNet system. But for the rest of the work for customs clearance, we can actually help you with that. Just click here https://importanything.ph/customs-clearance/
