Customs agreement offers faster clearance for Singapore exports to ... (The Straits Times)

Asean countries have formed a feasibility study group to simplify clearance for low-value shipments. Read more at straitstimes.com.

The same will apply to companies abroad that have been certified by their respective customs administration for goods that they export to Asean nations such as Singapore. Mr Wong said linking up the Asean Single Window with key trading partners like the United States and China will lower trade-related costs and support the development of supply chains with these countries. Going forward, Mr Wong identified two areas of customs collaboration that will greatly benefit Asean countries. Mr Wong noted that trade volumes in Asean have yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels, but the region is on track to become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2030. "I am confident that (the study) which will be concluded by the end of this year will be a good basis from which Asean member states can chart their way forward," said Mr Ho. SINGAPORE - By 2025, companies certified by Singapore Customs as having robust security practices will enjoy faster clearance for goods that they export to Asean countries.
