What Regulations Are There on Importing Printers and Ink to Singapore?

  • Singapore is generally a free port and an open economy.  More than 99% of all imports into Singapore enter the country duty-free.  For social and/or environmental reasons, Singapore levies high excise taxes on distilled spirits and wine, tobacco products, motor vehicles and petroleum products.
  • Companies must make an inward declaration for all goods imported into Singapore.  All imports require an import permit although this is largely a statistical requirement for most goods.
  • The import of trade samples that is below US$300 is not subject to payment of duty and/or GST. In addition, no permit is required for their import.
  • Bona fide trade samples (excluding liquors and tobacco) may be imported for the following purposes: solely for soliciting orders for goods to be supplied from abroad; for demonstration in Singapore to enable manufacturers in Singapore to produce such articles to fulfill orders from abroad or by a manufacturer for copying; and for testing or experimenting before producing such articles in Singapore.
  • Special import licenses are required for certain goods, including strategic items, hazardous chemicals, radioactive materials, films and videos, video games, arms and ammunition, agricultural biotechnology products, food derived from agricultural biotechnology products, medical devices, prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins with very high dosages of certain nutrients, and cosmetics and skin care products.  The import of items such as lighters in the shape of pistols or revolvers, firecrackers, handcuffs, shell casings, and silencers is prohibited.
  • Because inks contain hazardous chemicals, it is important to follow Singapore’s import regulations.

  2. High Product Cost - Given the domestic competition in Singapore, printers and the continuous ink supply are more expensive to buy domestically than on the world market.
  3. Product Quality - While most international suppliers have a good brand reputation and quality, some smaller domestic manufacturers in Singapore can have variant product quality.
