I have a friend in Singapore who wants to ship me some spices and other "local" foods. She doesn't know if it's legal and neither do I.


Answer
I would imagine any food that is commercially packaged, tinned, or otherwise sealed is fine.

Gifts over a certain price value would be liable to some tax though. (The value of the contents of a package has to be declared on a slip at the post office.)

Where in Singapore Changi airport can I buy Zippo brand lighters?

Q. I'm after names of specific shops in Singapore Changi, as I have not much time when I transit there. I wouldn't have enough time to stroll around.
Also, how much would Zippo there cost?
It wouldn't matter where in Changi airport the shop is, as I would know which one I have to go to and save lots of time. All passengers can access all of the terminals via the railcar system.


Answer
I was just at Changi airport 3 days ago. I went to several duty free shops and the local gift shops but I don't recall seeing any Zippo lighters. Your best bet would be to visit a duty free shop since Zippos are U.S.-made lighters. It's hard to tell you where to go because you might be at the opposite end of the airport depending on where your boarding gate is but there is a duty free shop pretty much at every wing of the airport.
