1. IS JEWELUXE EXHIBITION FOR RETAILERS TO VIEW OR END CUSTOMERS TO SHOP?

JeweLuxe Singapore is an exhibition developed to attract and encourage end consumers to shop. Jewellery and/or fashion retailers sometimes visit to source for brands to represent. The exhibition takes place in a custom built, air-conditioned, white tent at Ngee Ann City, and is a well-established venue for jewellery collectors and aficionados. It also has great shopping traffic as the Tent@Ngee Ann City is located in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district in front of Ngee Ann City. It is a premium shopping mall housing the flagship stores of luxury brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Cartier, Tiffany & Co, etc.

2. CUSTOM PROCEDURE
All exhibits and giveaways are subject to 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) upon entry into Singapore unless duly declared for Exhibition purposes with the following documentation:

Option A | ATA Carnet

Overseas Participant can import exhibition goods into Singapore by ATA Carnet via freight cargo or hand-carry.

This allows the suspension of GST on importation and reduces time and customs clearance costs. Singapore customs allows exhibits brought in by ATA Carnet to be sold.
Should overseas Participants wish to sell goods in Singapore, GST is payable on the goods at 7% of the Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value. The GST can be paid via an In-Payment permit through TradeNet, applied via the declaring agent/ freight forwarder.

Overseas Participant entering and leaving by hand-carry must present the required ATA Carnet documentation at entry and exit points for proper verification and endorsement.

Payment of GST and service fees must be made before leaving Singapore unless otherwise arranged with selected local freight forwarder.

Option B | Temporary Import Bond (TIB)

Three types of TIB permits apply:

Type 1 | Temporary Import Permit (“II” permit) This is to be presented to the Customs Officer at Airport or Land Checkpoint together with goods upon arrival in Singapore. The Customs Officer will endorse the permit after checks are done together with the goods. GST will not be paid at this point. Goods entering Singapore with such permits are valid for stay in Singapore for a maximum of 4 months. Extension of stay requires an extension letter and is subject to approval by Singapore Customs.

Type 2 | Export Permit (“OO” permit) This permit is to close the loop for goods that come in with “II” permit and which are not sold locally. This is to be presented to the Customs Officer at Airport or Land Checkpoint together with the goods before departure from Singapore. The Customs Officer will endorse the permit after an inspection of the goods. GST for items sold will not be checked at this point.

Type 3 | Duty Paid Permit (“DP” permit) This permit is required only when goods are sold locally. It will be declared before goods are being exported. 7% GST is payable based on invoice value provided.

3. HOW EASY IS SINGAPORE FOR OVERSEAS PARTICIPANTS

7% GST (goods and service tax) is to be paid on items listed in the Customs temporary import permit or ATA Carnet when sold, transferred or disposed of locally and on any items that are not re-exported under a Customs export permit or ATA Carnet.
Responsibility for paying the 7% GST to Singapore Customs rests with the seller/owner of the goods via the appointed declaring agent or freight forwarder.

GST is to be declared and paid on the last day of the exhibition unless otherwise arranged with the declaring agent/ freight forwarder.

In the event of goods sold, overseas Participants are to take up a “DP” Permit and pay the 7% GST to Singapore Customs via the declaring agent/ freight forwarder. GST due and not paid will be recovered from the declaring agent. It is imperative for all overseas Participants to declare and pay the due GST on imported items that are sold.
Overseas Participants are by default, not Singapore GST registered companies. Thus, they cannot issue GST invoices and have to absorb the GST payable on the goods brought into Singapore.
