Customs and Prohibited Items, Singapore

Take note of Singapore Customs and Prohibited Items as the country has very tough laws with regards what you can and cannot bring in. There is a mandatory death penalty for trafficking (that includes bringing in, even if it is found within your urine sample) controlled drugs.

The following are items which you must not bring into Singapore:

• Controlled drugs and psychotropic substances.
• Liquors and cigarettes marked with the words "Singapore duty not paid"
• Chewing tobacco and imitation tobacco products.
• Chewing gum.
• Any form of firearms, any imitation firearm, any toys looking like firearm, even cigaratte lighters that look like pistols.
• Endangered wildlife and things made from them.
• Firecrackers.
• Obscene articles and publication in any form.
• Pirated software, DVDs and music CDs.
• Seditious and treasonable materials.

You can bring in food items such as chicken, seafood and beef up to 5 kg for your own consumption, above which you need a permit. Medicine that require a prescription under Singapore laws must be accompanied by a doctor's prescription. If you are on medication, it is best to bring along your doctor's prescription.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
