FAQs: Buying Indian Dry Fruits in Singapore
Do I need an SFA import permit to bring dry fruits into Singapore?
Pre-packaged dry fruits and nuts generally do not require an SFA import permit for personal or small commercial quantities. For bulk commercial import, you need to be an SFA-licensed food importer. We provide all export documentation (phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, lab reports) needed for SFA clearance.
What is the customs duty on Indian dry fruits imported into Singapore?
Singapore has zero customs duty on most food imports, including dry fruits and nuts. You only pay 9% GST (Goods and Services Tax) on the CIF value. This makes Singapore one of the most cost-effective markets to import Indian dry fruits into.

Sea freight from Delhi/Mundra port to PSA Singapore takes 10–14 days. Air freight from Delhi (DEL) to Changi Airport (SIN) takes 4–5 days. We recommend sea freight for bulk orders (500 kg+) and air freight for smaller, time-sensitive shipments.
