In facilitating efficient shipments, it's crucial to bear in mind that only vehicles 3 years old or NEWER are permitted to be imported into Singapore. This age is determined by the date of its first registration in a foreign country such as China, Canada, Japan, France or the United Kingdom. An extra charge of $10,000 becomes applicable for any USED vehicle imported into Singapore. Strikingly, this fee does not apply to new vehicles. Similarly, vehicles are only considered new if they meet certain criteria, paving the way towards an easier import into the country. This fee is not mandated for new vehicles. However, vehicles are only considered new if:

• The vehicle is imported DIRECTLY from the manufacturer within 3 months of the manufactured date.

OR...

• The vehicle is registered as NEW in a country with higher standards for safety and emissions than Singapore, but then de-registered within 14 days of initially being registered, then imported within 3 months of its DE-registration in that foreign country (further details can be found at http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/buy_a_new_vehicle/self_importation_.html in the document entitled “Self Import and Register a Car”)
