HI, lots of qn to ask. SUPER CONFUSING
RE: 7% GSt applies to diff service provider?
lets say, for Vpost, they say that if the items + US local
shipping cost +CIF doesn't exceed 400 means no 7% GST. This
one is clearcut.
But then when i go to the sigapore custom website, they say
:
There is a 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) levied on all goods,
inclusive of new articles, personal effects, souvenirs, gifts, food
preparations and dutiable products, imported into Singapore. GST is
calculated based on the CIF
value of the goods plus all duties payable. If
the invoice value of goods does not include insurance and freight
charges, the postage charge paid for the goods is to be taken as
freight and insurance charges, and is to be added to the invoice
value of such invoice for calculation of GST payable.
GST relief is granted on goods, inclusive of new articles, personal
effects, souvenirs, gifts and food preparations but excluding
dutiable products, imported by post to a total value not exceeding
$400. Where the value exceeds $400, the entire sum would be subject
to GST.
does it mean that if i ship normally using DHL, i must
include the freight shipping cost inside?
for those using comgateway, does it apply the same as
vpost?
