Courier, LTL and FTL options between Malaysia and Singapore, compared instantly.
Spots is an online logistics platform that compares live rates from courier, LTL and FTL carriers running cross-border routes between Malaysia and Singapore — both directions. Book online, track your shipment, and let the carrier handle customs clearance.
To send a parcel from Malaysia to Singapore, compare rates from courier and lorry transport partners on Spots, book online with your cargo details and commercial invoice, then hand over your parcel for pickup. The carrier clears cross-border customs on your behalf and delivers to the recipient's address in Singapore.

Provide a commercial invoice and packing list for your shipment — required for Singapore customs clearance. See the documents section below.
Choose your carrier, confirm the booking and pay securely online. No back-and-forth calls or emails with individual transporters.
The carrier collects your parcel or cargo from your pickup address in Malaysia on the scheduled date.
The carrier handles cross-border customs formalities at the Malaysia-Singapore border using the documents you provided at booking.
Your shipment is delivered to the recipient's address in Singapore. Track progress from pickup to delivery in the Spots shipper portal.
Cross-border shipping costs from Malaysia to Singapore vary by service type, weight, volume and urgency. Courier suits small parcels, LTL suits partial pallet loads, and FTL suits full-truck volumes. For an exact price, use the shipping rate calculator below, which returns instant quotes from live carrier rates rather than fixed estimates.
| Service type | Typical weight / volume band | Indicative rate (RM) | Typical transit time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Courier / parcel | 20 – 50 kg | From RM3.80/kg | 3 – 5 working days |

| FTL (full truckload) | 1,000 kg and above | Contact us for pricing | Next day delivery |
Rates above are indicative starting prices and are charged on volumetric weight where it exceeds actual weight. Get a live quote for the exact price of your shipment.
Every shipment from Malaysia to Singapore needs a commercial invoice and a packing list. Both can be uploaded to your Spots account when you book, or sent to our team on WhatsApp. We can't proceed with the customs declaration or calculate your GST without them.
Required for every shipment. It must state the value of the goods — this is what Singapore GST is calculated on and what the customs declaration is filed against.
Required for every shipment. It sets out what is inside each carton or pallet and is used for customs clearance at the border.
Only if you plan to claim the GST back through your business. A CCP is a separate declaration filed under your Singapore UEN number, so you'll need to give us the UEN. RM60 applies. Without a CCP your shipment goes out under our standard consolidated declaration.
Tell us upfront if you need a CCP so it can be added to your invoice alongside the GST. Have a document question we haven't covered? Message our team on WhatsApp.
Singapore enforces stricter import rules than many shippers expect, and a number of items are prohibited or controlled regardless of their legal status in Malaysia. The prohibited and controlled goods lists are set by Singapore Customs and change from time to time, so we don't reproduce them here — always check the official source before you book.
Spots does not advise on whether a particular item may be imported into Singapore. It is the shipper's responsibility to confirm that goods are permitted, and to obtain any licence or approval required by the relevant Competent Authority, before booking.
Spots also supports the reverse direction — courier, LTL and FTL delivery from Singapore into Malaysia. The booking flow mirrors the Malaysia-to-Singapore direction: compare rates, book online, and the carrier handles customs clearance into Malaysia before delivering to the consignee's address.
Whether you're a Singapore-based business shipping to customers across Malaysia, or returning goods from Singapore back to a Malaysian warehouse, the same carrier network and instant rate comparison applies in both directions.
Compare rates for both directions
Choose courier for small parcels and documents, LTL console lorry for partial pallet or carton loads that don't fill a truck, and FTL for full-truckload volumes needing a dedicated vehicle. The right choice depends on your shipment size, urgency and budget — compare all three side by side on the rate calculator.
| Factor | LTL (console lorry) | FTL (full truckload) |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Partial pallet/carton loads | Full-truck volumes |
| Shared with other shippers? | Yes, consolidated with others | No, dedicated vehicle |
| Typical urgency fit | Standard, cost-conscious | Large volume, scheduled runs |
| Budget fit | Pay for space used | Pay for whole truck |
Common questions about Malaysia to Singapore cross-border delivery.
Yes. Spots connects you with courier partners running cross-border routes between Malaysia and Singapore, suitable for parcels and small cartons from 20 kg upwards, from RM3.80/kg. Trucks depart for Singapore every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with typical delivery in 3 – 5 working days from pickup. Book online by comparing carriers on our shipping rate calculator.
The cheapest option depends on your cargo size and urgency. Small parcels are usually most economical via courier, while palletised or high-volume cargo is cheaper per unit via LTL console lorry. Compare live rates from multiple carriers on our shipping rate calculator to find the lowest price for your shipment.
No. Carriers booked through Spots handle customs formalities as part of the cross-border service, provided you supply accurate commercial invoices and packing lists at booking. You remain responsible for ensuring your goods are not prohibited or restricted in Singapore.
Yes. Singapore charges 9% GST on the value of imported goods, calculated on your commercial invoice value rather than the freight cost, as ((invoice value × 5% currency buffer) × 9% GST) + 5% bank charges. It is invoiced to you separately from freight, and both must be paid before your shipment is dispatched. We collect the GST and remit it on your behalf at customs declaration, so nothing is payable at the border. If you want to claim the GST back through your business, ask for a CCP (RM60) when you book.
Yes. Once your shipment is booked and picked up, you can track its progress through the Spots shipper portal, from pickup in Malaysia through customs clearance to final delivery in Singapore.
