Destination facts that change the answer
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.
Official sources
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.
How it works

A first order should rely on visible evidence, not blind trust.

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.
Can I start with a keyword instead of a 1688 link?
Yes. Supplymo first searches for likely 1688 products and asks you to choose the correct one before the written check begins.
Does this form contact or pay the supplier?
Not by default. Supplymo may contact or negotiate with a supplier only when you explicitly check the per-product authorization. Ordering and payment always remain separate confirmed steps.
What happens when product data is incomplete?
Missing SKU, material, weight, carton, certificate, or destination facts remain visible and may change the result to request information, sample first, manual review, or stop.
Send the product or supplier link before you pay
Start with one strong product. Supplymo will route it as a check, supplier question, quote, sample, assisted order, prep, or shipping request.
