Remanufactured goods are not treated differently from new goods in Singapore.
Under the Hazardous Wastes Act, which was enacted to meet the obligations under the Basel convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, there are specific requirements for the importation and exportation of used electronic and electrical equipment that may be deemed hazardous wastes by some Parties to the Basel Convention, for the purposes of (i) re-use, (ii) repair and refurbishment, and (iii) recycling and recovery. Such requirements include surveyor reports, proof of a ready market, contractual agreements with EEE manufacturers, and the availability of recycling and/or repair facilities.
