Planning for import business here in SG

1. You need to register a business in Singapore to import goods. Check the ACRA webpage on how to do this. A business incorporation service provider is often handy in such cases - check Rikvin or Hawksford!
(An alternative would be to run the business entirely from abroad and let the buyers import them into Singapore.)
2. If you have registered a business and want to stay in Singapore to run it you need an EntrePass (only if you are not Singapore citizen or PR). The criteria are difficult to meet, but if you can, apply for it at MoM.
3. To import foodstuff, you need to meet stringent hygiene and sanitary standards - and get certified. Contact AVA about this: http://www.ava.gov.sg/explore-by-sectio … od-imports

Oh, I forgot to mention:
If you are currently working in Singapore on a work pass (WP, S-Pass, EP), you must first resign from that job and cancel the pass - it is not allowed to do any business (or work for any other than the employer mentioned on your pass) while on a work pass.
