Clearance of arriving travellers, baggage and vehicles at all entry checkpoints is under the purview of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA). At the checkpoints, ICA officers conduct checks on persons, baggage and vehicles entering the country, and refer trade and customs matters to Singapore Customs for follow-up.
ICA is primarily responsible for the security of Singapore's borders against entry of undesirable persons and cargo by land, sea and air. For more information about ICA, please click here to visit their website.
For the convenience of travellers, Singapore Customs officers are stationed at the following major checkpoints:
- Changi Airport
- Woodlands Checkpoint
- Tuas Checkpoint
- Singapore Cruise Centre
- Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal
Travellers who require customs services or to pay duty and/or GST on their goods may proceed directly to the Customs Duty Office at the Checkpoint. If in doubt, please enquire with the ICA officer at the Red Channel.
