Buat sobat2 sekalian yg ada rencana ke singapore, ada baiknya
berhati-ati dengan Cigarettes Policy yg diterapkan si singapore mulai 1 januari
2008. Sudah terbukti pada kawan yg sy jumpai disana dia harus bayar $200 untuk
4 bungkus rokok yg dibawanya (itupun jg karena dia blm tau ttg kebijakan itu
shg petugas yg bersangkutan masih memberi keringanan).

SDPC Cigarette Marking Regulation
SDPC-marking on Every Stick of Cigarette
With effect from 1 January 2009, all duty-paid cigarettes sold in Singapore
will be legally required to be marked with the letters “SDPC” (which stands for
Singapore Duty-Paid Cigarettes).
All cigarettes will continue to be sold in packets bearing the graphic health
warning lables as stipulated by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA).
The SDPC will be marked on every individual stick of cigarettes.
How Does a SDPC-marked Cigarette Look Like?
What Does the New Regulation Mean?
>From 1 January 2009, all cigarettes without the SDPC-marking in Singapore will
>be deemed illegal. Therefore, anyone caught selling, buying, or having in
>possession cigarettes without the SDPC marking will be committing an offence
>under the Customs and GST Acts.
Why is there a Need for this New Regulation?
The new marking regulation seeks to achieve the following objectives:
To reinforce Singapore Customs’ intensified operations to keep contraband
cigarettes off the streets,
As a measure to visibly differentiate duty-paid cigarettes from contraband
cigarettes to enhance detection by our enforcement officers, and
As deterrence to curb the peddling and buying of contraband cigarettes in
Singapore
What are the Penalties?
Anyone caught selling, buying, or having in possession of duty unpaid
cigarettes without the SDPC marking will be committing an offence under the
Customs and GST Acts. For every packet of duty-unpaid cigarettes, buyers will
be fined $500. Illegal peddlers will be arrested and charged in Court.Offenders
will be fined or sent to jail or both
