ATA Carnet Specifics

Singapore customs maintains very strict controls in imports and exports and regularly restricts the validity period of all ATA Carnets to six months. If you are importing goods into Singapore on an ATA Carnet, you should verify the “Final date for reexportation productions to the Customs of goods” found in box ‘2’ of the importation counterfoil. This is the date by which the goods must be re-exported. If more time is needed, the ATA Carnet holder or their representative should make a request for an extension to Singapore customs prior to that date at:

Temporary Import Unit, Documentation Branch Revenue House
55 Hewton Road #10-01
Singapore 309987
Tel: 6355.2000 / Fax: 6250.9606

If the intended use of the goods are Exhibitions and Fairs customs only allows the ATA Carnet to be used one time in their country.

For Permanent Entry of merchandise under Carnets, please follow these requirements:

  1. Holder/representative must notify Singapore Customs in writing and provide the reason(s);
  2. Notification should be directed to:

55 Newton Road #06-02
Singapore 307987
Fax: 6250.9606 or Tel: 6355.2000

3. Failure to do so, Holders will be subject to the imposition of duties, taxes, and penalties.
