Bringing reading material to Singapore
Hi all. Am new here and am wondering if we are allowed to bring a few books - fiction, non-fiction reference with us when we arrive in Singapore. Will that be a problem?

I am asking because of what it says here about controlled items
http://www.changiairport.com/passenger- ... lled-items
I work in advertising and have quite a few must have reference books that are costly and hard to come by. Wouldn't want to risk trashing any one of them, but a shame if I can't have access to them either.
Also what about ebooks on your Kindle / ipad? Are you supposed to erase them?

years ago it was tightly controlled, there was a time you weren't even allowed to bring the forein newspaper from the plane.Rubik Azariah wrote:Thanks! That helped. Guess I shouldn't have any problems then. I thought there was a restriction on all books and that each had to be screened to be approved.
it has been relaxed a lot now
only if you bring in VCDs/DVDs they 'may' ask you to pay for screening charges
take it easy!!!
