Can I post Perfume / Fragrance to Singapore?
Perfume can be posted to Singapore where the postal operator accepts it — fragrance alcohol is a dangerous-goods limited quantity, and ordinary import charges apply.
Personal-use quantities (typically 1-3 bottles); larger consignments risk commercial treatment
- Commercial invoice or proof of purchase showing the transaction value
Required at the destination customs authority
Full Details
Posting perfume to Singapore is customs-permitted but carrier-constrained: fragrance alcohol is a Class 3 dangerous-goods limited quantity, so many national posts refuse or cap air-mail perfume, and couriers require limited-quantity packaging. On the customs side Singapore Customs treats it as an ordinary parcel: an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration is required, import VAT/GST at 9% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. GST relief for imports was lowered. As of 1 Jan 2023, GST applies to all low-value goods (previously SGD $400 was the GST relief threshold). Overseas vendors with over SGD $1 million in global turnover and significant Singapore revenue must register for Singapore GST. Customs duty de minimis for non-controlled goods remains.
Confirm the carrier accepts perfume before shipping to Singapore — postal refusal is more common than a customs problem. Declare contents accurately on the CN22/CN23; 'gift' mislabelling does not remove import charges and flags the parcel.

Singapore Post and customs inspect international parcels. GST applies to all low-value imported goods as of 2023. Controlled items require appropriate permits even if sent by post.
