Baggage Shipping to Singapore
Shipping your baggage to Singapore does not need to be a hassle. Whether you are relocating, studying, taking up a professional assignment or moving for the long term, sending your belongings ahead can make your journey easier and more affordable. With years of experience in baggage shipping, we know how to navigate Singaporean customs documentation and logistics to ensure your items arrive safely and on time, whether your destination is anywhere in Singapore.
We also handle shipping from Singapore back to the UK. Anglo Pacific has moved belongings between the two countries for over 40 years, with more than 20,000 consignments handled every year, door to door in both directions.
How Much Does Baggage Shipping to Singapore Cost
The cost of shipping luggage to Singapore from the UK depends on how much you are sending, which shipping method you choose, and where in Singapore it is going. We charge by the size of your shipment, not by the kilogram at check-in, so you know the full price before booking.
- Single 23kg suitcase by sea freight: from around £180 door to door.
- Single 23kg suitcase by air freight: from around £320 door to door.
- Three to five boxes (around 0.5 cubic metres) by sea freight: from around £290.
- Small flat contents (1 cubic metre) by sea freight: from around £550.
Quotes are fixed at the time of booking and cover UK collection, freight, Singaporean customs documentation and final delivery. For an exact figure based on your shipment, send us a rough inventory and we will respond the same working day.
Luggage shipping to Singapore runs on two routes, sea freight and air freight. The right choice depends on how soon you need your items and how much you are sending.
Sea freight to Singapore
Sea freight is the most cost-effective option for larger shipments and the cheapest way to send luggage to Singapore when you are shipping suitcases alongside boxes or personal effects. It suits full household moves, multiple bags and non-urgent items.
- Transit time: 6-10 weeks door to door for most Singaporean cities. Singapore is a city-state, so onward transport from the port is short and there is no inland uplift.
- Best for: multiple suitcases, boxes, household goods, anyone sending more than one case.
- Cost: lower per cubic metre than air freight, particularly cost-effective for volumes over 0.5 cubic metres.
Air freight to Singapore
Air freight is the faster option for urgent or smaller loads. Luggage or boxes typically arrive within 5 to 7 days, ideal for shipping bags to Singaporean cities such as Singapore.
- Transit time: 8 to 10 days door to door for major Singaporean cities.
- Best for: single suitcase, urgent shipments, last-minute items, smaller volumes.
- Cost: higher per kilogram than sea freight, but faster delivery.
If you are moving to central Singapore or the east of the island, air freight is a good choice for a quicker delivery. If you are shipping to the west or north of the island, sea freight is more cost-effective for larger volumes of baggage.
Baggage Shipping to UK from Singapore
If you need to ship your bag, suitcase or boxes from Singapore back to the UK, we coordinate baggage shipping in the reverse direction. The service runs the same way: door-to-door collection, fixed pricing, sea or air freight, UK customs handled on arrival.
- Collection across Singapore: our partner agents collect from Singapore and other Singaporean locations.
- Sea freight from Singapore: shipments leave the Port of Singapore, one of the busiest container ports in the world and arrive at Felixstowe or London Gateway.
- Air freight from Singapore: departs Singapore Changi Airport, with UK delivery typically within 7 to 10 days of pickup.
- UK customs and ToR relief: returning UK residents may qualify for Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief from UK customs duty and VAT, provided you have owned and used the items in Singapore for at least 6 months. We help you prepare the ToR1 application before your shipment leaves Singapore.

Shipping boxes to Singapore is a flexible way to send clothing, books, kitchenware, personal effects and household goods. Boxes carry more than suitcases, pack flatter and protect contents better.

Unaccompanied baggage and unaccompanied luggage to Singapore
Unaccompanied baggage to Singapore and unaccompanied luggage to Singapore are terms for belongings you send ahead of or after your flight, without travelling with them. This is the most common reason customers use our service.
- You do not need to travel with your belongings: send them ahead so they arrive before you, or send them after you have settled in Singapore.
- No airline restrictions: you are not limited by airline baggage allowances or cabin baggage rules.
- Customs compliance: we handle Singaporean customs paperwork on your behalf, including the personal effects inventory and any Inward Declaration required by Singapore Customs.
Excess baggage to Singapore
Excess baggage to Singapore covers anything over your airline’s free allowance. Rather than paying per-kilogram fees at the airport, excess baggage shipping gives you a fixed price for the volume you are sending, whether one extra case or several boxes.
- Cheaper than airline fees: airline excess fees can climb past £400 for a single extra 23kg case. Our sea freight rates start from around £180 for the same case, door to door.
- No upper limit: send as much or as little as you need. Larger volumes attract better per-cubic-metre rates.
For full household shipments, our shipping to Singapore and removals to Singapore services may be a better fit.
