No specific restrictions for personal food supplements (commercial)
Details
No specific restrictions for personal food supplements (commercial). Quantity guidance for Singapore: Personal use. Documentation: Commercial invoice; Packing list; Bill of lading / AWB; HS classification. Allowed status assumes personal-use quantities — commercial-scale amounts move the entry into formal import procedures with duty and documentation. Arrival checks are carried out by Singapore Customs; when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Singapore with food supplements (commercial) is a separate question: restricted — Commercial-quantity food supplements exported from Singapore requires a commercial export declaration; samples at personal quantities move informally.

Practical advice
Commercial-quantity Food Supplements (Commercial) may be imported into Singapore through the standard commercial-import framework. Registered importers file the commercial entry via Singapore Customs with the applicable HS classification, pay import duty and VAT, and clear at the port of entry. Personal-quantity carriage typically clears under the personal-effects allowance without duty.
