Hello All,

Preparing to relocate to Singapore. I have a few electronic items which I would take with me. Cannot find some of the invoices. Read info on the sg customs' website, and got confused with the GST relief. Hence, just wondering do I need to pay GST for my items?

If they're your personal possessions and you have no intention of bringing them in to resell them, then there is no GST.
