| Duties payable = Total quantity in litres x Customs and/or excise duty rate x Percentage of alcoholic strength |
Company A imports 75 litres of stout with alcoholic strength of 5%. Assuming the customs and Excise duties for stout is S$16 and S$60 per litre of alcohol respectively:
As both customs and excise duties are levied on the import of stout,
the duties payable = 75 x (S$16 + 60) x 5% = S$285
a) All tobacco products except cigarettes
| Duties payable = Total weight (in kilogrammes) x Excise duty rate |
Company A imports 100 kilogrammes (kgm) of tobacco stems. Assuming the excise duty for tobacco stems is S$352 per kilogramme:
Duties payable = 100 x S$352 = S$35,200
b) Cigarettes
| Duties payable = Total number of sticks x Weight of individual sticks (every gramme or part thereof) x Excise duty rate |
Company A imports 100 sticks of cigarettes weighing 1.5 grammes each. Assuming the excise duty for cigarettes is 38.8 cents for every gramme or part thereof of each stick:
Since the weight of each cigarette is between 1 and 2 grammes, the weight to be taken to calculate the duties payable is 2 grammes.
Hence, duties payable = 100 x 2 x S$0.388 = S$77.60
| Duties payable = Customs value x Excise duty rate |
Company A imports a motor car that was bought at S$100,000 on Free on Board (FOB) incoterms(Singapore Customs). The overseas freight, handling and insurance charges to ship the car to Singapore cost S$1,000. Assuming the excise duty for motor cars is 20% of the customs value:
Customs value of car = S$101,000
Duties payable = S$101,000 x 20% = S$20,200
| Duties payable = Total weight x Excise duty rate |
Company A imports 100 litres of unleaded motor spirit of RON 97 and above. Assuming the excise duty for unleaded motor spirit of RON 97 and above is S$7.10 per dal (1 dal = 10 litres):
Duties payable = S$7.10 x 10 = S$71
