Bringing case of wine on the plane
Bringing case of wine on the plane
We are moving to SG in a couple weeks. My employer will not ship our wine. Does anyone know if we can check a case or two? I know there is a duty, and we are willing to pay it. I'm just not sure if we can check it like our luggage. Thanks!
Re: Bringing case of wine on the plane
In a good case as check in (not carry-on) it should be ok.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Re: Bringing case of wine on the plane
Thank you. Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many bottles we can bring as checked luggage?

18KG a case... ouch, that's going to be some excess baggage.

Re: Bringing case of wine on the plane
Really? You have to list all the boxes to your employers? We had a few cases of alcohol etc. The packers packed it for us and labelled the boxes as kitchenware/toileteries/bathroom or something like that.
18kg isn't bad considering allowance is 40kg on business class, isnt it.

You should check with the airline.dksid wrote:Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many bottles we can bring as checked luggage?
You will need to know what requirements they have before showing up, unless you have a good friend that can take it all back for you if the airline won't accept your packing.
As for the duty, from the customs.gov.sg website,
http://www.customs.gov.sg/leftNav/trad/ ... Goods.html:
Duty = Total quantity in litre x $88.00 x % of alcoholic strength
Thus, your wine duty likely will be $8-10 per 750 ml bottle.
Customs will want to look at the label of each bottle to check the %alcohol to determine the duty.
You are allowed 1 litre each of spirits, wine and beer or 2 litres of wine and 1 of beer per adult duty free.
(We usually get this at the duty free shop between immigration and customs on arrival.)
Perhaps you should invite all your friends for a wine-tasting send-off party for yourself before you pack to minimise the load.
By the way, you may need to consider getting a wine refrigerator here if you like to keep a lot of good wine on hand.

Some specialty wine businesses ship via air.
Have a delivery coming tomorrow that was ordered yesterday.
