What happens if I carry an item for someone else when entering Singapore and do not know what it contains?

If you declare that you don't know what you're bringing, it will be inspected, it may be confiscated, and you may be liable for prosecution based on whatever laws you may have broken.

Obviously, if you're truly gullible enough to take someone else's stuff across the border, you'll also declare it following this guidance, and allow authorities to investigate what it is you're bringing and why.

If, on the other hand, you're a contraband smuggler who intends to claim "someone gave it to me and I don't know what it is" when caught, then that excuse is preempted by this rule and another charge will be added to the list when you're prosecuted.

Note: Drug trafficking in Singapore comes with death penalty. No amount of monetary compensation is worth to bring someone else's goods via SG customs.
