- Written report and quote before any supplier payment.
- China warehouse receiving with photo evidence before international shipping.
- No counterfeit or restricted goods; controlled categories routed to manual review.
- No lowest-price guarantee and no fixed-duty promise — estimates with official sources.
For Singapore sellers, the decision also needs HS, GST, controlled-goods, permit, package, and route questions separated before payment.

How your money is protected
You decide with full information first. Payment only happens after you approve the report and quote — and you never pay a supplier directly.

You see the full report and quote before paying anything.
Pay through traceable channels
You never wire suppliers directly. Funds stay tied to your Supplymo order.

Singapore import in practice
What changes landed cost to Singapore
Singapore applies 9% GST to imports, including low-value goods, with low base duty on most categories. A low 1688 price is only the start.
Low-value goods are no longer GST-free: Since 2023, GST applies to imported low-value goods (value S$400 or less) bought from GST-registered overseas vendors, and on import for higher-value goods. Do not assume small parcels are GST-free.
GST 9%, low duty on most goods: Singapore's GST is 9%. Customs Duty applies only to a few dutiable categories (e.g. liquor, tobacco, motor vehicles, petroleum); most general goods are non-dutiable but still GST-bearing. Singapore Customs is the entry point.
Clearing customs is not permission to sell: Category rules (e.g. health products via HSA, controlled goods) still apply. 1688 listing claims do not prove Singapore compliance.
For sourcing planning only. GST, any applicable duty, and category controls can change the final amount — confirm with Singapore Customs/IRAS before paying a supplier.

Landed Cost & Margin CalculatorHow it works
From check to delivery
A first order should rely on visible evidence, not blind trust.
1. Product check
You submit a link or product clue.
2. Quote approval
We share report and quote.
3. China receiving
We receive at our warehouse.
4. Photo evidence
We send photos and contents.
5. Prep / labeling
We label, repack, and prepare.
6. Shipping handoff
We hand off to the route you approved for Singapore.
Warehouse receiving, photo evidence, prep, and shipping happen only when they are included in an approved quote and scope. A receiving photo is not automatically a full quality inspection.
Trust boundaries
What we do — and don't do
Clear boundaries are part of the service. Here is what you can count on.
Why we exist
Almost everyone who helps you buy gets paid when you buy.
That creates a quiet incentive to keep an order moving, even when the evidence says the buyer should pause.

FAQ
Singapore sourcing questions before you pay
Is GST charged on cheap 1688 imports to Singapore?+
Yes. Since 2023, GST applies to imported low-value goods (S$400 or less) from GST-registered overseas vendors, and on import for higher-value goods. Small parcels are not automatically GST-free.
How much is GST and duty?+
GST is 9%. Customs Duty applies only to a few dutiable categories (liquor, tobacco, motor vehicles, petroleum); most general goods are non-dutiable but still GST-bearing.
Can I sell 1688 products on Shopify in Singapore?+
Often yes, but compare landed cost and compliance. Controlled goods and health products have their own rules; 1688 listings do not prove compliance.
What is the S$400 figure?+
It is the low-value goods line used for GST on overseas purchases — at or below S$400 GST is typically collected by registered vendors. It is not a tax-free allowance.
What happens if the product is restricted or needs specialist compliance advice?+
The check flags visible restricted-product, carrier, certification, and platform-compliance signals. A high-risk or unclear case can end in Manual review or Stop. It is not legal or customs advice, so regulated categories still need the appropriate specialist before you pay.
What evidence do I receive after goods reach the China warehouse?+
When receiving and photo evidence are included in your approved quote, you receive dated photos of the visible cartons, labels, and contents before the next handoff. Those photos do not by themselves prove product performance, full compliance, or defect-free goods; deeper inspection is a separate approved scope.
