Singapore - Legal Action against the Supply of Unregistered Controlled Goods

On 18th March 2026, Singapore Competition & Consumer Commission (CCS) issued the CPSO-18032026-23, which serves as a reminder that supplying or advertising for supply of unregistered Controlled Goods (CGs) in Singapore constitutes an offence under the Consumer Protection Safety Requirements Regulations (CPSR). This prohibition applies regardless of the product has been labelled “for export only” or stated to customer that the product is not intended for use in Singapore.

Under the CPSR, all CGs must undergo testing and certification to specified safety standards,registration with the Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO), and affixed with the SAFETY Mark before they can be supplied in Singapore.

CPSO will take a serious view towards non-compliance of CPSR requirements and take legal action against Registered suppliers or any individual who facilitates offences via misleading arrangements covering payments, logistics and invoicing. Any person found guilty of supplying unregistered CGs is liable upon conviction to a fine not exceeding S$10,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2years or to both.
