Frequently asked questions
Is RORO available to Singapore?
Yes — RORO is the most cost-effective option for standard vehicles. We use Höegh Autoliners, Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Grimaldi for the Singapore rotation.
What duties will I pay in Singapore?
20% duty + 9% GST + ARF up to 320% + COE bid. Duties are paid by the importer at the destination port.
Is insurance included?
All quotes include UK port handling and the Bill of Lading. Marine transit insurance at 1.5–2% of vehicle value is offered separately on every quote.
Do I need to bid for COE before shipping?
No — COE is bid after the vehicle arrives and passes LTA inspection. However, budget for COE in your decision; without one you cannot register and the car sits idle.
Is there an age limit?
No formal cap, but vehicles over 10 years face escalating road tax and ARF disadvantages. Classic Vehicle scheme available for 35+ year vehicles with restricted use.
