Singapore Travel Forum

Hi All

I just read a post further down regarding bringing cigarettes into Singapore and was wandering if anyone can clarify it for me please? Are you allowed to bring in cigarettes to Singapore and if so is it just one opened packet? Do you have to pay tax/duty on that packet when you arrive?

Also regarding smoking in Singapore, what exactly are the rules? Are you allowed to smoke on the streets so long as you do not do it near buildings and of course around other people? So for example, you stand well away from people? And also, which is a given I feel, do not litter your butts all over the floor rather place them into the bin?

I have tried too look up infor regarding this on the internet but can't find the exact laws. So if anyone has a website they could give me with the relevant info, I would really appreciate it.

We leave for Singapore Tuesday night and would like to know exactly what I need to do.

Thank you for your help.

Last year I saw people smoking in the street, they had also their own [pocket]ashtray.

You could start with www.expatsingapore.com/content/view/1376 which gives info on various laws/rules.


S'pore Customs says: "There is NO GST RELIEF AND DUTY-FREE CONCESSION ON CIGARETTES AND OTHER TOBACCO PRODUCTS. Please declare them at the Red Channel for payment of duty and GST."

www.customs.gov.sg is the website.
