Full details

Wine duty-free allowances are separate from spirits in many countries and are often more generous given wine's lower alcohol content. The UK permits 18 liters of still wine duty-free for personal import. Australia allows 2.25 liters of wine duty-free. Wine is completely prohibited in Saudi Arabia, K

QUANTITY CHECK

litres

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.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Standard wine allowance typically 2-4L per traveler 18+. Above the allowance, excise + 9% VAT. Declare at Red Channel with purchase receipts.
