Importing a vehicle into Singapore can be a costly and complex endeavor. It is extremely important to do the research ahead of time so that you can make an informed decision as to whether shipping your own personal vehicle into Singapore is the right move for you. You will also want to enlist the help of a very reputable auto transport company to help you through the process.
Only vehicles 3 years old or NEWER are allowed to be imported into Singapore. The age is determined by the date of its first registration in a foreign country. An additional charge of $10,000 is due for any USED vehicle imported into Singapore. 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”)

Requirements
- All USED vehicles must undergo an emissions test at VETL (http://www.vetl.com.sg/) at the point of importation to determine Carbon Dioxide figures and fuel efficiency. This information will determine the surcharge or the rebate for the Carbon Emission-based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS)

After the rigorous verification of the vehicle, the next step is to prepare to pay the customs duty rate, which is 20% for a motor car and 12% for a motorcycle.
