针对社交媒体一则的贴文,新加坡关税局发文告澄清,当局对口罩和洗手液的进口,并没有实施附加的限制政策。

此前,有网民在脸书申诉,他携带七盒口罩入境,却需要缴付25.2新元的税款。他也上载一张照片,相信是在新加坡游轮中心的一则告示,上面除了提醒游轮乘客需申报烟酒之外,也要申报所携带的口罩和洗手液。

对此关税局指出,实则上述告示乃是出于善意提醒。近期手提携带大量手术口罩和洗手液入境的游轮乘客激增,为此才提醒,那些携带上述物品数量超过免税顶限的乘客,需前往关税柜台申报缴付消费税,此举是为了加快通关程序。

关税局也解释,所有被携带入境的物品,如果超过消费税进口免税额,或者用于商业目的,那么入境旅客都需要申报之。
