Singapore may not be a well-known destination for travelers and expats, but it's a beautiful country nonetheless. It's one of Lonely Planet's top 10 tourist destinations in 2015, offering breathtaking attractions like Sentosa Island, the Buddha Tooth temple and a plethora of museums, national parks, zoos and more.
So if you're looking into international shipping to Singapore, chances are you're doing so because you're planning to visit or move to this beautiful, remote, exotic location. Great choice! But we won't keep you waiting any longer, and get right to it: here's everything you need to know about international shipping to Singapore from the United States.
The Restrictions
The U.S. Postal Service has a comprehensive list of everything you aren't allowed to ship into Singapore. The list includes common-sense items like firearms and gas lighters, but also include some more unusual lines like "advertisements for charms, bracelets and talismans."
That gives you a great idea of the culture difference between Singapore, and certainly raises the curiosity level. Either way, browsing through the lists of restricted and limited items is important before assembling your package.
The Rates & Specs
On the same page we linked above, the USPS also gives users a comprehensive list of rates and restriction when it comes to package size and weight. One piece of great news: for only $24, you can ensure your package for a value of up to $2,499. What exactly you pack depends on the type of item(s) you're looking to ship, but rest assured: you can ship any size and weight imaginable, for the right price.
Coming Back from Singapore
Of course, if you visited Singapore for pleasure, you may want to bring home some souvenirs for friends and family. The island country is especially known for its unique cutlery, which is gorgeous.
