Prior to importation, the importer who wishes to obtain the classification of goods must submit the Application For Classification Of Goods Form ( DOC 449kb ) together with the following supporting documents, to the Classification Unit via fax, email or post.
- Letter of enquiry from applicant
- Product catalogue/literature (e.g. product description, ingredients, chemical composition, material composition, manufacturing process, usage of the product, form (i.e. powder, liquid), product specification sheet, technical data sheet, etc.)

Singapore Customs will evaluate and determine the classification of the product. A Classification Certificate will be issued, indicating the applicant's/company's name and address, description of the product, HS code and dutiability of the product. The classification process may take up to 30 days, depending on the complexity of the product and the completeness of the information furnished. Our officers will contact the applicant via phone to confirm the collection mode (by post or collect in person).
A fee of SGD 85.00 will be charged for per good classification. Payment is to be made upon submission of application form and supporting documents. The payment mode is via Inter Bank Giro (IBG), cash, cheque, NETS or credit cards. For applicants who wish to pay by cash, NETS or credit cards, payment would have to be made in person.
