Singapore Customs to Cease Hard Copy Correspondence Related to CO Matters

Singapore Customs will transition from hard copies to emails for all correspondence relating to certificate of origin matters, the agency said in a Jan. 17 notice. This includes correspondence relating to the agency’s “circular or notices,” manufacturer registration or renewal letters, verifications of cost statements and letters of acknowledgement. Singapore is advising companies to update their contract information, particularly their email addresses, so they can continue correspondence with Singapore Customs. The agency will transition to emails by Feb. 15 and will “cease acceptance” of hard copy manufacturing cost statements by March 1, the notice said.
