Thanks much for the answer.
I quickly looked over the Singapore Customs web site & saw that there is a specific line stating that it is prohibited to import: "Obscene articles, publications, video tapes/discs and software".
It also states that it is prohibited to import: "Reproduction of copyright publications, video tapes, video compact discs, laser discs, records or cassettes".
On another site, I saw that it was mentioned that if Customs agrees to allow you to import DVDs, there will be a 3$ cost for every 30 minutes of viewing that Customs officers will need to review DVDs to ensure there are no issues before they permit them to be released.
The upshot seems to be that for every DVD I have already legally purchased, I either risk them being confiscated and destryoed or if they are allowed, will need to pay at least 6$ additional surcharge (assuming a movie is at least 2 hrs long) to bring into Singapore.
I understand the need to prohibit pornography and of course illegal pirated copies of movies, but the above rules seem to indicate that import of all DVDs and software are prohibited or strongly discouraged!
Is above correct, or have I completely misinterpreted the law?
I can't believe that everyone who relocates to Singapore has to dispose of their movie collection before coming!
Thanks much for any clarification.
Cheers
