Shipping to Singapore? Here Are the Top 3 Things You Must Know!
With trade between Malaysia and Singapore booming, more sellers, factories, and brand owners are exporting goods to Singapore. However, cross-border delivery is not as simple as it seems. Without proper preparation, you may face:
- Customs clearance delays
- Goods being held at the border
- Heavy fines or penalties
To help you avoid costly mistakes, Vspeed Logistics has summarized the top 3 key points every exporter must know before delivering goods from Malaysia to Singapore.
Key #1: Are Your Customs Documents Complete? (K1/K2 Forms)
Missing documents are the most common cause of delivery delays. Whether you're doing LTL (less than truckload) or FTL (full truckload) shipments, make sure to prepare the following:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- K1 Form (Malaysia Export Declaration)
- K2 Form (Singapore Import Declaration)
If you’re shipping food, electrical goods, or machinery, you may also need additional certificates such as SFA, SIRIM, or CIDB approvals.
Tip: Without the K1 and K2 forms, your goods may get stuck at customs and cannot proceed.
Key #2: Work with a Legal & Experienced Cross-Border Transport Company
Not every logistics provider understands cross-border procedures. Delivery to Singapore isn’t just about driving across the Causeway—it involves:
- Export clearance + Singapore entry procedures
- Integration with customs systems (TradeNet, Kastam)
- Driver entry permits & checkpoint arrangements
- Warehouse handling, delivery time coordination
Vspeed Logistics offers daily cross-border lorry service with:
- Experienced drivers and owned fleet
- Door-to-door delivery to any Singapore address
- Document preparation (K1/K2)
- Professional customs clearance support

Key #3: Are Your Goods Sensitive or Regulated?
Many businesses don’t realize that some of their products require special declaration or import permits. Here are some common examples:
Product Category | Required Document |
---|---|
Food Items | SFA Food Safety Approval |
Electrical Goods | SIRIM Certification |
Construction Materials | CIDB Approval |
Medical Supplies | HSA / AVA Documentation |
If these goods are not properly declared, customs may delay, confiscate, or even destroy your shipment.
