Traders must declare the correct 8-digit HS code for each item, based on a detailed description of the goods. Any shipment with multiple items (even if they are from the same supplier) must be listed as a separate line item in the declaration if it has different HS codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A search tool is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradenet.gov.sg\/tradenet\/portlets\/search\/searchHSCA\/searchInitHSCA.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TradeNet\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0to determine whether the product falls under controlled items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Penalty<\/strong>: Fine up to $10,000 and\/or up to 2&nbsp;years imprisonment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compliance Tip:<\/strong> Do not rely on internal product names or prior declarations.

Supporting documents must substantiate the declared value. Values have to be declared for exports, imports and transhipment in the manner provided in the Circular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compliance Tip:<\/strong> Double check to ensure there are no missed costs (like royalties or packing). Internal SOPs should require finance to cross-check declared values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Declare value in SGD based on commercial invoice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For imports declare CIF value + charges (e.g., commissions, packing, royalties).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For exports declare FOB INCOTERMS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use Customs exchange rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Penalty<\/strong>: Fine up to $10,000 and\/or up to 2&nbsp;years imprisonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Description of Goods<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traders and DAs must provide clear indication of the goods and avoid vague descriptions.
