What are the fees involved? where/how do i check them? any reliable and cheap forwarders? vpost forwards from the US. but heard of some bad reviews.. usually when i purchase from US, the company itself does shipping. just email them for a quote..

Koren Clutched May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 I think there is this thing called a website where you can see details about these kind of things. Have fun finding it. How's your mid year exams? over already mud? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerano 1st Gear May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 usually the seller has a quotation for courier service if not the websites of speedpost etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty 1st Gear May 20, 2009 Author Share May 20, 2009 thanks. i had a quote from the merchant in fact. but i was told there is a need for custom clearance, duties, gst, agents? so i dont know if there are other fees involved other than the quoted shipping. Say its shipped to airport and i have to pick up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerano 1st Gear May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 then what if we buy something expensive like an ICE system but ship separately. then no tax? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koren Clutched May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 then what if we buy something expensive like an ICE system but ship separately. then no tax? if per item less than the limit then no tax. but sometimes shipping separately will cost much more than the tax.

Yeobh 4th Gear May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 (edited) Looks like the seller is shiiping the goods via air cargo - therefore you need to get the shipping Spore shipping agent to do the custom clearance and make GST payment on yr behalf and transport the goods to yr place ( there will be handling and other charges ) To save you all the problem, I suggest you either ship the goods via USPS ( US postal Service ) which will deliver the goods right up to your doorstep and at the same time you can make GST payment Alternative, if the goods is more than 10kg I suggest you ship via Federal Express ( Which is a courier service that handle heavy items for USPS ) Edited May 20, 2009 by Yeobh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 i think if items are less than SGD$400 or $500, there will be no taxes imposed. custom clearance will be done by the courier. Anything declared more than S$400 have to pay 7% GST. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 Use USPS. I always use them when I buy from US. http://www.usps.com/ Very fast also, normally will receive it within 1 week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusty 1st Gear May 20, 2009 Author Share May 20, 2009 Anything declared more than S$400 have to pay 7% GST. using the value converted to our currency? eg. 1000usd converted= 1500 x 7% ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
