Ozempic / Semaglutide restricted; documentation or permits may apply. Quantity guidance for Singapore: Up to 3-month personal supply; no HSA pre-approval required for approved GLP-1 agonists. Documentation: Original prescription from licensed physician; Medication in original pharmacy-labelled packaging. Enforcement in Singapore carries fines from SGD 500 to SGD 10,000 under Customs Act 1960 s.128F, s.130 (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Restricted status means compliant carriage is achievable with the right paperwork and quantities; the practical risks are seizure, duty, and delay rather than criminal liability for a good-faith traveller. 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 ozempic / semaglutide is a separate question: allowed — Ozempic (semaglutide) may be exported from Singapore for personal use with prescription documentation; cold-chain and injection-pen rules apply.

PENALTIES

Leaving Singapore with ozempic / semaglutide

ALLOWEDOzempic (semaglutide) may be exported from Singapore for personal use with prescription documentation; cold-chain and injection-pen rules apply.

Semaglutide is prescription-only but not a controlled substance; personal-use pens may be taken out of Singapore without export formality when accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter covering the injection pens and needles. Keep pens refrigerated where possible (cabin baggage with a cool pack; in-use pens tolerate room temperature per the manufacturer). Supply-shortage export controls have applied to commercial shipments in some markets, not personal patient supply — though carrying many months' worth invites questioning.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry documentation. Declare at customs if required.
