What is a Shut-Out Permit?

A shut-out permit is a crucial document in the import and export process, particularly when dealing with shut-out goods. These are items that have been removed from a shipment, often due to issues with payment or paperwork. In Singapore, a shut-out permit is necessary for moving these goods through customs checkpoints, ensuring compliance with customs regulations. 

This permit is vital for authorizing the movement of goods, especially when they're stored in a free trade zone or licensed warehouse. Companies need to produce the permit and supporting documents, such as a commercial invoice, to Singapore Customs to obtain clearance and avoid delays.

Who Needs a Shut-Out Permit?

• Importers and Exporters: A shut-out permit is required by companies involved in importation or exportation for goods that cannot proceed due to unpaid duties

• Re-Exporting Goods: This permission will be needed by a company looking forward to re-exporting goods that were previously imported (especially if stored in a free trade zone), to comply with customs regulations.

• Handling Shut-Out Goods: Businesses dealing with shut-out goods, which are typically held back due to GST payment issues or other customs documentation requirements, must obtain a permit for clearance.

• Licensed Warehouses: Those operating licensed warehouses in Singapore require permits for the legal movement of goods stored under customs control.

• Specific Scenarios: In cases involving the non-payment of GST, re-importation of goods, or exporting non-dutiable items, having a shut-out permit ensures compliance with Singapore Customs.
