Frequently asked questions

The questions Indian founders ask us most often about Singapore.

  • Can I sell on Amazon Singapore from India?

    Yes. Amazon SG accepts foreign-registered entities including Indian companies and US LLCs. Singapore has 9% GST (effective 2024) and a low-friction customs regime — most consumer goods enter duty-free as Singapore is a free port. Plan for English-only listings, smaller volume than US, and a premium audience that pays for quality.

  • What categories work best on Amazon Singapore?

    Premium skincare, wellness supplements, kitchen tools, and lifestyle goods compound well in Singapore. Volume is 5–10% of Amazon US so you need a higher-margin product to make the per-launch effort worthwhile. Single bad reviews can stall a SKU more aggressively than US/UK.
