It is considered an offence to bring a pack of duty-unpaid cigarettes into Singapore. To differentiate, with effect from 1 January 2009, all duty-paid cigarettes sold in Singapore will be marked with the letters SDPC on every individual stick. A packet of cigarettes without the marking will cost the offender a fine of S$500. SDPC stands for, no prizes for guessing, Singapore Duty-Paid Cigarettes.
