Singapore: Guidelines for Importing Medicines for Personal Use

1. Does Singapore allow individuals to import unregistered prescription drugs by mail order?

Allow. Singapore allows individuals to bring in or mail-order small amounts of medicines from abroad for personal use, but the amount cannot exceed three months' supply.

2. Do I need to submit an application to the government in advance when importing medicines for my own use?

No prior application is required. However, there is a small chance that customs will ask you to provide a doctor's prescription to prove that the medicine is for personal use.

3. How much tariff do individuals need to pay for imported medicines?

According to Singapore's Customs and Excise Department, most medicines are exempt from import duties.
