Can you buy duty-free products while in transit at Singapore Airport?
by: Gabriel Tan

Hi Bobby

You can buy the duty-free products on you way out of Singapore Airport.

Remember that your destination airport determines whether you can bring your duty-free products into the country.

I believe Australia allows a carton of cigarettes (200 sticks) duty-free, if you are arriving from an overseas airport.

When you are at the duty-free shops at Singapore Airport, you should check with the salespeople. Let them know where you are going, and they'll let you know how much of each duty-free item you can take into your destination country.

Liquor from Overseas Airport
by: Senta

Hi if I am coming back from Krabi to Malaysia then to Singapore, can i buy liquor from Thailand airport.

Dear all

Allowance for duty-free goods depends on a lot of factors, primarily what your origin and destination airports allow.

As you can see from the lack of answers to the last 3 questions, it's quite a complicated issue. My advice to everyone reading this thread: save yourself some time and call the airports DIRECTLY and ask.

Please contact your destination airports directly.

I'll now proceed to lock this thread.
