Beer duty-free allowances are often larger by volume than spirits allowances due to lower alcohol content, though these vary significantly by country. The UK permits up to 42 liters of beer duty-free. Australia allows 2.25 liters of any alcohol duty-free. New Zealand permits 4.5 liters of beer. Saud
Alcohol: 1L spirits AND 1L wine AND 1L beer (total 3L) for travelers who have spent 48+ hours outside Singapore and are not arriving from Malaysia. Travelers from Malaysia or spending less than 48 hours abroad get no alcohol allowance. No tobacco duty-free concession since January 2023 — all tobacco is dutiable. General goods relief: SGD $500 (approx. $370 USD) for 48+ hours, SGD $100 for under 48 hours.
Standard beer allowance typically 16L per traveler 18+. Above the allowance, excise + 9% VAT applies.
