I imported a consignment of meat products from Australia that turned bad upon arrival in Singapore. What should I do?
You may obtain an In-Non-Payment permit application with declaration type "Destruction (DES)" and with the "Place of Receipt" field indicated as "DUMP" to send the goods for destruction, if the importer receives no payment/ proceeds from the destruction or recycling of the goods. An In-Payment permit for the duty and/or GST based on the last selling price (i.e. payment/proceeds received or to be received from the destruction operator) is to be obtained if the importer receives payment/proceeds from the destruction operator. You are to obtain approval from the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Competent Authority (CA), if goods are controlled by a CA, prior to the disposal of the goods. Under the "Remarks" column of the permit application, please indicate the NEA's and CA's approval letter reference, date and place of destruction; and the name and address of the incineration plant and the booking reference number, if applicable. You may refer to here for more information.
