Under the Singapore law, the penalty for the illegal importation of controlled drugs such as heroin or morphine is death. Under the Singapore law, you are required to open, unpack and pack your baggage when the Customs officer wishes to conduct an examination of your baggage. This is to give you full control over the entire proceeding i.e. you can determine the manner of the opening, unpacking and packing of your personal belongings. This would also prevent any unintentional damage to your baggage or belongings. If you have inquiries, please check with the Customs and Excise Department at the Customs Call Centre: Tel: (65) 6355-2000 Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.customs.gov.sg/leftNav/trav/ 5 Declaration to Customs When you arrive at the Customs checkpoint, you are required to declare fully and correctly all dutiable, controlled or prohibited items that you are carrying. If you are not sure whether a certain item is dutiable, controlled or prohibited, please check with the Customs officer on duty. All such goods and their import license or authorization where applicable, should be produced to Customs at the entry point for examination. Making a false or an incorrect declaration is an offence under the law. Singapore customs operates the Dual Channel System – the Red and Green Channel – for expeditious clearance of travelers at all its entry checkpoints including Changi Airport, Tuas Checkpoint, Woodlands Checkpoint, Woodlands Train Checkpoint, Singapore Cruise Centre, and Tanah Merah and Changi Ferry Terminals. Green Channel Red Channel If you have prohibited, controlled or dutiable goods or goods exceeding your GST/duty-free concession, you should seek Customs clearance at the Red Channel. If in doubt, please seek Customs clearance at the Red Channel. WARNING: It is an offence under the law to proceed to the Green Channel with taxable goods which, exceed the tax-free allowance or goods for which no tax-free allowance is granted. There is no limit on the amount of currency you can bring into Singapore. 6 Bona fide travellers are entitled to duty-free allowance for spirits, wine and beer only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) You are 18 years old or above; (b) You have spent 48 hours or more outside Singapore immediately before your arrival; (c) You have not arrived from Malaysia; (d) The liquors are for your own consumption; and (e) The liquors are not prohibited under section 38 of the Customs Act. You will given one of the options below: Option Spirits Wine Beer A 1 Litre 1 Litre 1 Litre B - 2 Litres 1 Litre C - 1 Litre 2 Litres There are no concessions on cigarettes and other tobacco products. This is in line with the Singapore governments‟ campaign to discourage smoking. Time Singapore is eight hours ahead of GMT / UTC (London), two hours behind Australian Eastern Standard Time (Sydney and Melbourne), 13 hours ahead of American Eastern Standard Time (New York) and 16 hours ahead of American Pacific Standard Time (San Francisco and Los Angeles). So, when it is noon in Singapore, it is 8 pm in Los Angeles and 11 pm in New York the previous day, 4 am in London and 2 pm in Sydney. Climate If you come from a temperate climate, the first thing that hits you is the heat. Temperature ranges from 24o to 33o C (75-90oF) with an average daily maximum relative humidity of 84.3%. Rain falls all year round but is most abundant from November to January. Rainfall occurs mostly as sudden showers. It is a good idea to carry an umbrella whenever you go out. Be careful about changing your favorite dress or shirt out to dry in direct sunlight, the color will fade. Wear light, comfortable, cotton clothing to beat the heat. For Singapore's latest weather condition, visit the Singapore Meteorological website at http://app2.nea.gov.sg/3hnowcast.aspx 7 Average daily temperatures (o C min and max) and month rainfall (mm) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Max o C 30 31 31 31 31 31 30 30 30 31 30 29 Min o C 23 23 23 24 24 24 24 24 24 24 23 23 Rainfall 244 161 184 178 171 162 158 176 170 194 255 288 (mm) Electricity If you are bringing electrical equipment, please note that the standard voltage for electrical appliances in Singapore is 230 volts, 50 cycles. The electrical outlets are mainly for 3 pin plugs. Adapters can be easily purchased in Singapore allowing you to use the 2 pin plugs. Money & Costs Currency for Singapore is in Singapore Dollars (SGD). Singapore is much more expensive than other South-East Asian countries which may come as a shock if you are traveling on a shoestring budget. You can still stay here, though, without spending too much money if you can forego the temptation to run amok in the shops or indulge in luxuries you may have craved while traveling in less developed Asian countries. It's possible to stay in Singapore for under S$50 a day, if you stay in hostels and eat cheaply. If you're staying in mid-range hostels and eating at good restaurants, S$100 is a more realistic daily minimum. Tipping is not usual in Singapore: expensive hotels and restaurants may impose a 10% service charge, and a gratuity is not expected in excess of this. Bargaining is falling by the wayside, but tourists should still expect to haggle for luxury items and souvenirs. It is unnecessary to bargain for everyday goods or transport. Banks Most banks open from 9:30am – 3pm/4pm on weekdays and 9:30am – 11am/1pm on Saturdays.

  • Asia Pacific Travels Retail Association
    FINAL REPORT Economic Impact of Duty Free and Travel Retail in Asia Pacific 15 October 2019 Executive Summary The duty free and travel retail industry is a fast-growing sector of the Asia Pacific economy that comprises the sale of goods to international travellers.1 Duty free and travel retail is available for purchase at airports and on airlines, on cruises and ferries, and at downtown duty free shops and land border crossings. In addition to duty free, full-retail shops (referred to as travel retail) are also available to travellers. These non-duty free offerings can include convenience stores, book stores and specialty stores selling fully taxable goods or services located post-security in airports or on cruise and ferry ships. The Duty Free World Council (DFWC) and the Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association (APTRA) commissioned this study to estimate the economic contribution made by duty free and travel retail industry in the Asia Pacific region.2 The duty free and travel retail sector contributes significantly to economic development of countries in the Asia Pacific region through the employment and activity it generates. Furthermore, it supports and facilitates wider economic activity in other industry sectors, such as aviation, maritime travel, and tourism, supporting the growth and development of economies in the region. Key Findings ▪ In 2017, an estimated US$36.2 billion was spent on duty free and travel retail in the Asia Pacific region. The principal components included the following: o Airports and airlines accounted for nearly US$21.2 billion in duty free and travel retail sales, of which 75% occurred in the sub-region of East Asia.

Mr Tan on his philosophy of success 05 Immigration & Checkpoints Authority making a difference by AS Laura Loh ,, ,, meet THE CAPTAIN OF the ICA VOYAGER “Confident and straightforward, a man who does not mince his words” – this is the likely first impression of those who meet Mr Eric Tan, the Commissioner of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA). Well, you are right, but only half right. There is indeed more to the man than his solid demeanour. Take some time to talk to those who have worked with him and you will see him in a different light: A caring and compassionate person; an approachable and amicable boss; a hands-on chief who rolls up his sleeves to work alongside his staff. A sensible leader whose can-do attitude makes resolving impasses look effortless. Not one to be fettered by petty convention, he means what he says and says what he means.
