All, main list on page 28 has been updated.

 

[fabianyee]

All autopass requirements have been confirmed with the above participants (except fabian yee)

Am in Vietnam, so not checking the forum that often for updates. Apologies if I missed anything. Was it one of the details required in the excel spreadsheet template? Would have confirmed it if it's in the form.

Anyway, I have valid Autopass for the E30...

Hey Fabian. Is your Autopass updated or not.

Everyone: (Just in case) Did you all know that you need to UPDATE the Autopass everytime you renew your road tax? What I usually do is to bring the stub (the cut away part of your road tax) together with the autopass to have it updated at the counter.

Bros, just sharing info.

1. Do not bring into Singapore any Malaysian ciggies. Either pay tax for every stick (SGD 0.80/per stick) or pay tax for the whole box (SGD 10) which come to about the same price of ciggies in Singapore.

Do not attempt to "smuggle" or there will be a fine of SGD 80/per box if caught. Disposing will be offered as an option but it will cost you approx SGD 40/per box.

"There is NO GST RELIEF AND DUTY-FREE CONCESSION ON CIGARETTES AND OTHER TOBACCO PRODUCTS. Please declare them at the Red Channel for payment of duty and GST" - http://www.customs.gov.sg/leftNav/trav/all/GST+Relief+and+Duty-Free+Concessions.htm

Chewing gum is allowed. No problem.

Ciggies is ok for 1 box per person. Just make sure its opened and remember to tell da officer bout ur ciggy when they check ur vehicles. Failure to inform them constitutes non declaration/attempt to smuggle. They will let you off once they are happy that ur ciggy is 1 stick less
