Can I bring it back from Batam?
Pick what is in your bag and how long you were out of Singapore. The answers follow what Singapore Customs, HSA, ICA and SFA publish; the full detail, with sources, is in our customs guide.
How long were you out of Singapore?
Almost every Singapore allowance depends on this one number.
What are you bringing back?
A vape or e-cigaretteCigarettes or tobaccoAlcoholShopping — clothes, electronics, souvenirsMeat and meat productsFrozen cooked seafoodChicken eggsFruit and vegetablesPackaged snacks and saucesChewing gumCounterfeit or pirated goods
For a trip of 48 hours or more
Leave it in Batam
No duty-free allowance at all, not even a reduced one — every cigarette is dutiable. On top of that, packs that do not meet Singapore's standardised packaging are disposed of at the checkpoint, and Indonesian retail packs do not.

A short summary, not legal advice. The rules change: check with Singapore Customs, HSA, ICA and SFA before you travel.
