Why ship Nepali handicrafts via iWishBag to Singapore?

  • iWishBag is headquartered in Singapore (IWISHBAG PTE LTD, UEN 202347947E) — Singapore customers benefit from a fully local invoicing entity.

  • Singapore residents often want US-direct or UK-direct SKUs not stocked by local distributors. iWishBag bridges the gap.

  • Pay in SGD via PayNow or card. Last-mile delivery covers all of Singapore.

Singapore customs

Singapore applies 9% GST on imports above S$400 and is otherwise duty-free for most categories. iWishBag pre-calculates GST into the quote.

Non-dutiable goods under SGD 400 get import GST relief at the border, but since 2023 overseas sellers must charge GST on low-value goods at checkout - so GST is effectively due either way.
