IOR Service in Singapore

Think of an IOR Service as your go-to customs guru in Singapore. They take care of all the tricky details, making sure your shipments get cleared fast and without any hiccups. Here’s how an IOR like GCE Logistics can make your life a whole lot easier:

  • Compliance Champ: Singapore boasts a streamlined import process, but regulations are still important. We stay informed about the current import rules and make sure your products meet all the requirements, saving you time and avoiding potential problems.
  • Duty & Tax Decoded: Singapore levies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) that’s currently 8% (rising to 9% in 2024). GCE will take care of the tax paperwork, so you don’t have to worry about calculating the correct amount and ensuring your imports aren’t held up.
  • DDP Done Right: Want a one-stop shop for your imports in Singapore? Our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service covers everything, so you can focus on your business without worrying about the details.

A Heads Up on Restricted Items

Singapore has a list of restricted items, and some might surprise you—like scanning receivers. We’re here to help you spot any potential issues and make sure your shipments stay within the rules.

Fast and Efficient Lead Times

Singapore is all about getting things done fast. With lead times of just 1-2 weeks, your shipments will arrive in no time, helping your business keep moving without a hitch.

The VAT Landscape in Singapore

In Singapore, there’s a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on imports. But here’s a key point: unlike some other places, you usually can’t reclaim VAT if you’re an importer.
