I would like to ask whether it's taxable during custom check, when I bring in my own desktop computer + speaker + monitor + other components to Singapore....?
erm, what about those blank DVD-r and CD-r?

I don't think you will have a problem.

Just pout in with all the rest of your personal effects.

Better yet why don't you just b uy a new set-up here, they are dirt cheap and high tech.

waste of shipping weight and space. Just take your harddrive with you.

I brought mine from the US, no customs duty, just shipped it with household effects - do take account of the local voltage (240) if you are coming from somewhere with a different voltage (USA - 110v) then you will need a transformer unless you have a dula voltage machine

I think there a voltage switch on the power supply so you can check. In any case think about what you said and 1year by PC standers is kinda old however if you spent $3000 then its must be one b*itching machine!

Evelynn, did you even bother to read the thread before posting? Or did you only read the first post.

As long as it's value is below 400$, no issue. For everything above, no matter how old, you pay 5% GST. Go calculate. PC equipment is cheap here.

Just be aware that air freight charges will exceed US $1200 to ship from the US. Personal household effects are except from customs duties and GST. I'd make sure that I have receipts to prove that I didn't judt buy it.
