Moving to Singapore? Ask our regular expats in Singapore questions on relocation and their experience here. Ask about banking, employment pass, insurance, visa, work permit, citizenship or immigration issues.

It is official. We are moving to Singapore Jan 09 ..

Post by luvnyc » Wed, 13 Aug 2008 5:56 am

I happen to have a large collection of designer bags. Some will come with me but the rest will shipped on the container. Am I going to have problems with customs - there are about 50 or so and they are mine tht I use but will customs question whether I am planning on selling them? Which I am not. Do I have to bring receipts? The problem is of course I don't have all the receipts. The funny thing is most of the bags I have were purchased in Singapore and Hong Kong!!

Do I have to worry?

You should ask the Singapore Customs directly. Their website is at
http://www.customs.gov.sg/topNav/hom/

Their email contact should be on their webpage somewhere.

Hey luvnyc,

I brought over all my designer gears too. No problem at all. I did not need to declare anything and the customs did not question. Good luck!
