Importing from Singapore

Singapore is a high-tech exporter: semiconductors, electronic components, precision instruments, pharmaceuticals, and refined petroleum products. Dutch importers in the semiconductor and electronics sectors are major buyers of Singaporean (or Singapore-transited) goods.

EU-Singapore FTA

The EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (EUSFTA), effective since 2019, reduces or eliminates tariffs on most Singaporean export products to the EU. Ensure correct proof of origin to benefit from these tariff advantages — Aircargo.nl checks this as standard.

Points to consider

  • Always verify the actual origin: many Singaporean goods are re-exports from China — in such cases, EUSFTA benefits do not apply
  • Transit time: 3–5 business days door-to-door
