SINGAPORE CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS

1 Import Procedures

All motor cycles or scooters imported into Singapore for local use, the importer is required

to apply for a Joint Inward and Payment declaration to cover the imports and payments of

Customs duty and GST via TradeNet System. Customs duty on a motor cycle or scooter is

levied at 12% of the Open Market Value (OMV). In addition, a 7% GST (with effect from 1

July 2007) is levied at time of import. The 7% GST is computed basing on OMV plus

custom duty payable.

 

2 Assessment of Open Market Value

The OMV is assessed by Customs based on the price actually paid or payable for goods

when sold for export to the country of importation, these includes purchase price, freight,

insurance, handling and incidental charges. Incidental charges refers to the inspection and

documentation fee, internal taxes, cost of accessories, commission, etc., which have been

paid on the said vehicle. For the purpose of duty assessment, the following documents are

required to be submitted to Appraisement Section, Singapore Customs, 55 Newton Road,

#07-01, Revenue House, Singapore 307987:

a) Original purchase invoice;

b) Freight and insurance papers;

c) Bills/receipts relating to other incidental charges;

d) Documents relating to exhaust emission test, windscreen test, etc.;

e) Vehicle’s registration document (for used vehicle); and

f) A manufacturer’s letter confirming the date of manufacture of the

vehicle/Completion Inspection Certificate/Registration and De-registration

Certificate.

 

 

LAND TRANSPORT AUTHORITY (LTA) REQUIREMENTS

4 Certificate of Entitlement

Under the Vehicle Quota System which was implemented with effect from 1 May 1990, any

person who wishes to register a vehicle must first obtain a Certificate of Entitlement in the

appropriate vehicle category. Motorcycles or scooters are classified under Category D.

 

 

NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (NEA) REQUIREMENTS

 

7 Compliance with Exhaust Emission Standards

With effect from 1 Jul 2003, National Environment Agency (NEA) requires all motorcycles

or scooters to be registered in Singapore to comply with the exhaust emission standard as

specified in the EC Directive 97/24/EC. A certificate of compliance with the emission

standard issued by the vehicle manufacturer or LTA/NEA recognised overseas vehicle test

laboratories (see Annex A) must be produced, a sample of which is attached at Annex B.

For vehicles imported by self-importers every unit is required to be tested. Test report of its

type-approved model is not acceptable.

Note:

 

Testing of the exhaust emission in accordance with the specified standards is not available

in Singapore. Hence, you are required to have it tested by the vehicle manufacturer or any

of the LTA/NEA recognised overseas vehicle test laboratories as listed in the Annex A.

 

 

There's other requirements as well but I think best for you to read the PDF file.
