1.1 Is this handbook meant for me? If you wish to suspend GST on your imported goods and you belong to any of the three categories of traders listed below, you should read this handbook. (a) you trade in imported commodities which are sold many times (within the warehouse premises) before these commodities are released for regional/international and/or local distribution. In this case, a Zero-GST warehouse affords the advantage of disregarding the multiple supplies for GST purposes; (b) you use Singapore as a regional/international distribution hub (import goods into Singapore and then re-export them). In this case, the Zero- GST warehouse serves as your “FTZ”. Goods which are eventually re- exported will not attract GST. Goods are subject to GST only upon release into the local market; or (c) you operate a service warehouse and you have customers belonging to the categories mentioned in (a) or (b) above.
1.2 What is this handbook about? This handbook tells you: (a) what you need to know about the Zero-GST Scheme (Chapter 2); (b) the licence types available, the benefits of each type and conditions you must meet to operate a Zero-GST warehouse (Chapters 3 to 6); (c) what your obligations as a licensee are (Chapter 7); and (d) how to apply for the scheme and what are the other administrative details and reference materials (Chapters 8 to 9). A Handbook on the Zero GST Warehouse Scheme (Jul 2025) version) Page 5 of 41 <!-- page break --> 2 Overview of the Zero-GST Scheme
2.1 What is a Zero-GST warehouse? A Zero-GST warehouse is a designated area approved by Singapore Customs for storing imported goods with GST suspended. Depending on circumstances, a Zero-GST warehouse may be the entire premises, a designated part of the premises, a storage tank or any other places approved by Singapore Customs. The designated part may be demarcated with lines, separating it from other areas. You are allowed to use the non-designated area of the same warehouse premises for other purposes such as storing goods acquired locally or goods for which GST has been paid. Non-Zero-GST goods are not allowed to be stored in the designated Zero-GST areas. However, you may seek approval to waive this condition if you have in place a computerised and up-to-date inventory tracking system, i.e. your inventory system is able to differentiate the non-Zero-GST goods from the Zero-GST goods, and can identify their exact locations.
2.2 How will a Zero-GST warehouse benefit my company? It will improve cash flow and reduce administrative costs for your business as GST is suspended on goods (a) imported into Zero-GST warehouses; (b) traded within Zero-GST warehouses; (c) removed between Zero-GST warehouses; and (d) removed to traders registered under the Major Exporter Scheme (MES) and the Approved Third Party Logistics (A3PL) Company Scheme. A Handbook on the Zero GST Warehouse Scheme (Jul 2025) version) Page 6 of 41 <!-- page break -->
2.3 Who can operate a Zero-GST warehouse? Zero-GST warehouses may be operated by the owners of the goods or by service warehouse operators who take responsibility for the security, accountability and proper control of the Zero-GST goods.
2.4 What types of goods can be warehoused? As a general rule, you can warehouse any goods except: (a) dutiable goods; (b) locally-acquired or locally-manufactured goods; and (c) GST-paid goods. Dutiable goods must be stored in a Licensed Warehouse. Locally-acquired or locally- manufactured goods and GST-paid goods can be stored in the non-designated areas of the same warehouse premises.
2.5 What operations can be performed on the Zero-GST goods? Generally, value-adding operations intended to make the imported goods ready for the next link in the supply chain are permitted within the Zero-GST warehouse, as long as they do not change the original characteristics of the goods. Licensees are required to seek approval from Singapore Customs before carrying out any operations. Examples of permitted operations are: (a) re-packing where the total quantities of Zero-GST goods are not changed; (b) re-packaging, including mixing, sorting, grading, labelling, stamping, etc. for distribution or sale; (c) preservation to keep the Zero-GST goods dry, cool or frozen; and (d) lubricating, rust-proofing, airing or cleaning the Zero-GST goods. A Handbook on the Zero GST Warehouse Scheme (Jul 2025) version) Page 7 of 41 <!-- page break -->
2.6 What are the basic qualifying criteria to operate a Zero-GST warehouse? To qualify, you must meet the following basic criteria: (a) You are a GST-registered trader with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS); (b) You are a registered trader with Singapore Customs; (c) You must have good compliance and payment records with Singapore Customs and IRAS; (d) The premises designated to be the Zero-GST area must be a storage- based facility with security measures in place; (e) You must have good stock record-keeping and warehouse procedures that ensure accountability of the goods. There must be clear lines of responsibility between the warehouse staff; and (f) You must have undergone a TradeFIRST1 assessment. With effect from 1 January 2018, to mitigate money laundering and terrorism financing risks, licensees that wish to store listed goods must seek Singapore Customs’ approval in writing2. Licensees storing listed goods must: (a) Comply with the requirements and inform Singapore Customs in writing if you do not wish to store the listed goods or is no longer able to comply with the requirements; (b) Obtain and maintain information on; • value of the goods; • identity of the customer who deposited the goods; • identity of the person(s) with control over the goods; and • identity of the person(s) with beneficial ownership of the goods; (c) Update the identity of the persons set out at (b) above in the event where there is a change in the person(s) with control over the goods and/or the 1 TradeFIRST (Trade Facilitation Integrated Risk-based SysTem) is an assessment framework that allows Singapore Customs to appraise companies based on a common set of assessment criteria that is applied across all of Singapore Customs’ schemes. 2 For a company that wish to store listed goods, it must obtain minimally the “Intermediate” band and the Zero-GST Warehouse Type II licence under the TradeFIRST framework.

To maintain the records and supporting documents for the purpose of this clause; (d) Screen all persons who is storing listed goods against publicly available databases for criminal activity, including offences involving fraud, money- laundering, terrorist financing activities, and/or designation by the United Nations Security Council as a designated entity subject to a United Nations sanctions regime; and (e) Screen (as and when may be necessary) the identity of the persons set out at (b) above in the event where there is a change in the identity of the person(s) with control and/or beneficial ownership of the goods. To maintain the records and supporting documents. In addition, in the event that the screening results in a positive result, to file a Suspicious Transactions Report (“STR”) electronically on STRO Online Notices and Reporting platform (“SONAR”) and inform Singapore Customs. With effect from 1 January 2019, if the listed goods belonging to the two categories, namely works of arts and antiques, are stored in the Zero-GST warehouse, the licensees must obtain, maintain and update information on the name of the work of art and/or antique, the name of artist, the dimension of work of art and/or antique and the last transaction date of the work of art and or/antique. The information maintained must be produced to Singapore Customs upon request. In addition, the Licensee shall ensure that the supplier and consignee information are declared in the relevant customs permit for movement of listed goods into or out of the Zero-GST Warehouse, where applicable. (a) The following permit types are applicable for the declaration of supplier information: • IN movement into the ZGS [Message Type = INP (In-Non-Payment) with Declaration Type = APS (Approved Premises/Schemes)]; • OUT movement from the ZGS [Message Type = IPT (In-Payment) with Declaration Type = GST]; and • OUT movement from the ZGS [Message Type = INP (In-Non-Payment) with Declaration Type = GTR]. If the supplier information is not known at the point of permit application during the IN movement into the ZGS, the supplier to be indicated in the permit declaration, may be the overseas or local party accountable for importing and storing the listed goods in the ZGS. A Handbook on the Zero GST Warehouse Scheme (Jul 2025) version) Page 9 of 41 <!-- page break --> (b) The following permit types are applicable for the declaration of consignee information: • IN movement into the ZGS [Message Type = INP (In-Non-Payment) with Declaration Type = APS (Approved Premises / Schemes)]; and • OUT movement from the ZGS [Message Type = OUT (Export) with Declaration Type = APS (Approved Premises / Schemes)]. However, please note that the consignee information is not required for the OUT movement of sea stores from the ZGS.
2.7 What are the licence types available to me? Under the Zero-GST Scheme, there are three licence types, namely Warehouse Type I, Warehouse Type II and Warehouse Type III, for you to choose from. However, Type I and II licensees need to qualify for the “Standard” and “Intermediate” bands under TradeFIRST respectively; while Type III licensees need to qualify for the “Enhanced” or the “Premium” band. For more information on TradeFIRST, please refer to Chapter 3 for more details.
2.8 Which licence type is meant for my company? In selecting the licence type for your company, you may want to consider your business activities and needs, and the licence type. An overview of the three licence types is given below. Warehouses Type I If you operate a storage facility and you need a Zero-GST warehouse to hub imported goods in Singapore for both local release and subsequent re-distribution in the region/internationally, this licence type may be suitable for you. (Please refer to Chapters 4 for more details on these licence type.) Warehouses Type II If you operate a storage facility and you need a Zero-GST warehouse to hub imported goods, including listed goods, in Singapore for both local release and subsequent re- distribution in the region/internationally, this licence type may be suitable for you. (Please refer to Chapters 5 for more details on this licence type.) Warehouse Type III If you are operating multiple storage facilities which store imported goods for exports as well as for local release, this licence type may be suitable for you. Not only will you enjoy GST suspension on imported goods predominantly meant for local release, you will also enjoy flexibility in the storage and movement of goods between the storage facilities. (Please refer to Chapter 6 for more details on this licence type.) A Handbook on the Zero GST Warehouse Scheme (Jul 2025) version) Page 10 of 41 <!-- page break --> To assist you in deciding the licence type most appropriate for your company, you may refer to the Flow Chart at Chapter 2.9. A comparison of the key features of the three warehouse types is shown in Chapter 2.10. Always talk to our customs officers as they are ready to assist and advise you on the licence type most appropriate for your business activity. (Please refer to Chapter 8.5 for Singapore Customs’ contact information.)

3.1 What is TradeFIRST? TradeFIRST stands for Trade Facilitation & Integrated Risk-based SysTem. It is a one- stop assessment framework that makes trade easy, fair and secure. TradeFIRST supports Singapore Customs’ trade facilitation and compliance efforts by enabling Singapore Customs to assess a company holistically, based on a single set of assessment criteria applied across all schemes. Thereafter, companies will be rated into one of the five bands under TradeFIRST, which determines all the schemes and facilitation that they could enjoy, provided certain essential criteria for specific facilitation are met.
3.2 What are the TradeFIRST criteria and bands? The six key TradeFIRST criteria are shown in the table below: Assessment Criteria Criteria Categories Company Profile Company financials and general background of the company. Inventory Management Warehouse management system with good track and trace, stock monitoring, access control, and audit trail functions. Proper data storage and back-up procedures. Compliance Compliance records. Procedures & Processes Documented cargo handling SOPs for receiving, releasing, stocktaking, and discrepancy handling. Security Physical security measures on cargoes and premises, Business Partner Security Screenings and Business Continuity Plans. Other Scheme-Specific Specific requirements applicable to certain Requirements schemes. A Handbook on the Zero GST Warehouse Scheme (Jul 2025) version) Page 13 of 41 <!-- page break --> Current licensees and new scheme applicants will have to undergo the TradeFIRST assessment based on the six key criteria and be placed into the following bands: The higher you are in the TradeFIRST band, the more facilitations you can enjoy. A company that qualifies for a higher band will get the facilitations in that band as well as those facilitations in the lower bands, provided certain essential criteria of the specific facilitations are met. Generally, to qualify for any schemes or programmes like the Zero-GST warehouse scheme, the company must at least be assessed to be in the standard band
3.3 How does the TradeFIRST banding affect Zero-GST warehouse facilitation? Under the Zero-GST warehouse Scheme, there are three licence types, namely Warehouse Type I, Warehouse Type II and Warehouse Type III. Type I and II licensees need to qualify for the “Standard” and “Intermediate” bands under TradeFIRST respectively. Type III licensees need to qualify for the “Enhanced” or the “Premium” band. For a company that wish to store listed goods, it must obtain minimally the “Intermediate” band and the Zero-GST Warehouse Type II licence under the TradeFIRST framework. TradeFIRST Band Warehouse Type Standard I Intermediate II Enhanced & Premium III The level of facilitation and flexibility accorded, as well as Singapore Customs’ requirement on your company’s record-keeping and internal controls standard, increases as you move from Type I to Type III. Licensees in higher tiers (i.e. Type III) would be accorded the most facilitation, but would be expected to have better internal controls and compliance levels.
