30 Jul 2025 Ayzo Pte LtdAyzo: SGD 36,000 fine for freight forwarder misusing other companies' entity identifiers SingaporeCustoms €24,218

In 2024 the freight forwarder Ayzo Pte Ltd misused the Unique Entity Numbers of two other companies in applications for export permits for cigarette shipments to Australia that were described as other goods in the shipping documents, and failed to retain the bills of lading. Ayzo had relied solely on information from an unknown client in India without verifying it with the named importers and exporters. After the company pleaded guilty to ten charges under the Customs Act for incorrect UEN declarations and three charges for failure to retain trade documents, the State Courts imposed a fine of SGD 36,000 on 30 July 2025.

What organisations can take from it

Freight forwarders must verify client and goods information before customs declarations and retain trade documents, or they become tools for smugglers.
