International Delivery Reference Guide (Latest Update by Mail Service Provider)
*Please note that due to the COVID-19 situation, there might be significant delays for all international shipments in and out of Singapore.
COVID-19 has severely impacted international movement of people and goods as countries implement additional border controls and restrictions on international travel.
As a result, airlines have drastically reduced international services, leading to a significant reduction in air freight capacity and frequency to and from Singapore to all international destinations.
