Switzerland–Singapore freight: services and trade framework
Singapore is the main commercial and financial hub of South-East Asia, home to one of the world's busiest ports. The city-state offers a transparent regulatory environment, low duties and an ideal position for distribution across ASEAN.
The EFTA–Singapore FTA has been in force since 2003 and was the first EFTA FTA with an Asian country. Singapore applies near-zero customs duties on almost all products.
