nuvy

Importing Korean skincare into Singapore

What the border charges, where each shop stops charging for shipping, and what the two together mean for the basket you were going to buy anyway.

What Singapore charges

Singapore GST above S$400.

Below the threshold the border charges nothing at all. nuvy compares your USD basket against it using the dated rate in fx.json — the threshold itself is written in the country's own currency, and the USD figure is nuvy's arithmetic, not a published line.

Above it, 9% is charged — on the whole value of the goods, not only the part over the line. Shipping is not taxed.

Customs rule last checked against the authority itself on 2026-08-25. These change — the US $800 exemption was suspended on 2025-08-29 — so treat an old date as a reason to verify.
