Does anyone here have tips on how to avoid Singapore import duties for articles mailed from the UK?
I am moving to Singapore at the end of the month and was thinking of shipping valuable items separately because I am wary of the shipping service hired by my company. By valuable I mean articles such as a Swaine Adeney briefcase, Brigg umbrella, a Lock fedora and so on. As I care for my accessories, I am afraid that these may be mistaken for brand new items and taxed.
I am wondering whether it would make a difference if I sent these in separate packages, or as part of a larger shipment containing clothes and other personal items.
I would appreciate hearing from someone with similar experience for Hong Kong as well.
