This one should help clarifies (i took it from the Harbour Front Ferry terminal custom area some time ago) :


You may also grab a copy of the above at the waiting area before one prepares himself to board the ferry to Batam (Harbour Bay). Free with no extra charge,hehehe...

GST relief

Goods brought into Singapore are subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST). However, inbound citizens, Permanent Residents and tourists are allowed a tax relief on goods valued up to:
$600 if away from Singapore for 48 hours or more, or
$150 if away from Singapore for less than 48 hours.

This applies to souvenirs, gifts and food products. The goods brought into Singapore must meet the requirements of the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and other competent authorities. You can enjoy GST relief on purchases for personal use only. Those meant for sale should be declared.
