-- Any attempt to import controlled goods without a proper import permit, licence, or certificate granted by their CAs are serious offence to Singapore Laws, including the Singapore Customs Act. -- All customers of Taobao2SG must agree that they will accurately declare the nature, content, and value of the good to be imported by using Taobao2Sg shipping services. False declaration about any aspect of the imported good is a serious offence to Singapore Customs Act. Customers who fail to comply with regulatory requirements of declaration are fully responsible for the consequences (e.g., fine or jail terms) arising from their own act, such as evasion of GST by under-declaration and any non-compliance of regulatory requirements by Competent Authorities (CAs). -- Customers who plan to import controlled goods into Singapore must also pay an additional S$35 for the required independent clearance procedure at Singapore Customs. This independent clearance fee is subject to be changed if the Singapore Custom raises the fee. -- All controlled goods are regarded as sensitive goods by Taobao2SG. However, there are goods which are not classified as controlled goods by Singapore Customs but are considered as sensitive goods by sea shipping service provider due to the potential risk of the good in the shipping process. -- If you wish to import a small quantity of sensitive goods for personal and non-commercial use, you can contact our customer service staff at WhatsApp 6588130282 to seek assistance. We often can help customer you to import a small quantity of certain kinds of sensitive goods by using our import permit (e.g., processed food).
