Goods allowance while travelling to singapore?

score:8

Accepted answer
  1. Light sabers and toy fighters are fine. The weapons restrictions are for realistic weapons (guns, swords, ninja gear like nunchakus, etc).
  2. This is a question for your airline and departure airport, not Singapore, and the issue is security, not Customs. However, the general rule is that you can't bring liquids purchased outside in carry-on luggage, but you can pack alcohol in your checked luggage.
  3. In practice, and this is speaking from experience from living in Singapore for 8 years and passing through every and every one of its border checkpoints numerous times, Singapore does not really enforce food restrictions: Customs does not care what you import, much less what the notional value is. They focus almost entirely on tobacco, drugs, alcohol and counterfeit products, roughly in that order.
  4. In the highly unlikely event of being asked (see above), receipts showing the purchase price in euros are fine.

Bonus question: the $100 sub-limit applies specifically to food. The overall duty-free limit is $600, so a few bottles of wine, toys and sausages will be absolutely fine.

As for buying duty free liquor, anything you plan to carry with has to bought after clearing security for your last flight. So if you are flying direct you can buy at the first airport. If you stopping and changing planes you may need to buy at the last airport you transit through.

If you plan to put the liquor in your checked bags, you can buy it at a shop near your home.
