Fitvip Supersonic September 30, 2022 Share September 30, 2022 From TST More than he can BarBeQue. Man fined $17,500 for flying into Singapore with 200kg of meat in luggage SFA officers were on June 8 alerted by ICA to luggage that was found to contain assorted meat products at Changi Airport. PHOTO: SINGAPORE FOOD AGENCY/FACEBOOK SINGAPORE - A man travelling from China carried in his luggage more than 200kg of frozen meat, including rabbit meat and mutton. Chinese national Wang Liansheng, 68, was fined $17,500 on Thursday for illegally importing assorted meat products into Singapore, said the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). On June 8, SFA officers were alerted by ICA to luggage that was found to contain assorted meat products at Changi Airport. The eight pieces of luggage, which belonged to Wang, contained 226kg of frozen meat products such as chicken, beef, pork, mutton and rabbit meat from China. The illegal consignments were seized and destroyed. In another case, Singaporean Tan Kay Huat, 74, was fined $2,000 on Thursday for illegally importing fresh vegetables for sale. SFA said its officers had on March 22 inspected a Malaysian lorry carrying food produce consigned to Tan and Chng Vegetable Seeds and Enterprise at Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre. Officers found that Tan, the licensee and sole proprietor of the company, had illegally imported 55kg of fresh vegetables, including caixin, spring onion and sweet potato leaf, from Malaysia. The vegetables that were either undeclared or under-declared were seized. SFA said food imports must meet its requirements, fruits and vegetables can be imported only by licensed importers, and every consignment must be declared and accompanied by a valid import permit. It said: "Illegally imported vegetables are of unknown sources and can pose a food safety risk (for example, if unregulated or a high level of pesticides is used). "The long-term ingestion of excessive pesticide residues through the consumption of vegetables that have been subjected to pesticide abuse could lead to adverse health effects." SFA added that meat products can be imported only from accredited sources in approved countries that comply with Singapore's food safety standards and requirements.

Maybe he does that on China domestic flight, so no problem. But he doesnt know it is a big no no for international flights.

Even if not meat, Custom will check for GST evade as purchase of more than $600/- per person subject to 7% GST tax. With 8 luggage, sure more than $600/- If 4 persons with 2 luggage each might get through... Edited September 30, 2022 by Picnic06-Biante15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
