Vehicle shipping
If your vehicle meets all of these requirements then you are on your way to importing your vehicle into Singapore. If the car that you are importing is manufactured in one of the European Community Countries, then you will need to obtain an EEC Certificate of Conformity issued by the manufacturer for the car, if the car was manufactured in Japan then you will need to get hold of the completion Inspection Certificate issued by the manufacturer, although the car can be tested overseas at any recognised vehicle testing laboratory for a certificate of compliance with exhaust emission standards together with a test report and a Safety Glass Certificate, you then need to obtain proof that the car is either new or has been registered for use, if you have a used car then this will require the vehicles registration document issued by the foreign authority.
