Singapore has published an FAQ on its 2025 strategic goods controls.
Singapore has published an FAQ outlining updates to its strategic goods control instruments, aligned with the 2025 lists of four multilateral control regimes.
Singapore has published a frequently asked questions document on updates to its strategic goods control instruments . The document identifies three instruments: the Strategic Goods (Control) Order, the Strategic Goods (Control) (Brokering) Order and the Strategic Goods (Control) Regulations .
Three instruments identified
The FAQ first cites the Strategic Goods (Control) Order as one of the instruments covered by the updates presented by Singapore . It then refers to the Strategic Goods (Control) (Brokering) Order . The title of this second instrument includes the term ‘Brokering’ in parentheses .
The Strategic Goods (Control) Regulations are the third instrument identified in the document . The source presentation links these three instruments to a single set of updates concerning controlled strategic goods . The extract provided does not reproduce the substance of the provisions amended under each of the three instruments .
The document uses the English titles Strategic Goods (Control) Order, Strategic Goods (Control) (Brokering) Order and Strategic Goods (Control) Regulations . The available extract provides no official publication reference, instrument number, consolidated version or annex reproducing the amendments .
Document does not state a publication date
The FAQ provided does not state a publication date in its text . Nor does the source record provide a date . The document presents the updates as relating to a national control list .
The source states that this national list is aligned with the 2025 lists of multilateral export control regimes . The available extract does not set out how the updates are allocated among the Strategic Goods (Control) Order, the brokering instrument and the Strategic Goods (Control) Regulations .
Alignment with four control lists
The FAQ states that Singapore’s national control list is aligned with the 2025 lists of four multilateral control regimes: the Australia Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, known by the acronym MTCR, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, or NSG, and the Wassenaar Arrangement . The document presents these four lists as the references for the national updates addressed in the FAQ .
The Australia Group appears in this list under its English name . The Missile Technology Control Regime is also cited by the acronym MTCR . The Nuclear Suppliers Group is referred to using the acronym NSG . The Wassenaar Arrangement completes the list of four regimes named in the document .
The available extract links the alignment to the 2025 lists, without referring to an earlier edition or to a separate date for any of the regimes cited . Nor does it indicate that the alignment is confined to one of the three Singapore instruments identified in the first part of the FAQ . The available wording concerns the national control list as a whole .
No control heading, goods category, list entry or amended provision is detailed in the available extract . The source provides no correlation table between the four regimes’ 2025 lists and the updated Singapore provisions . It reproduces neither the wording of the entries concerned, nor any associated technical notes or classification criteria .
The extract does not further specify whether the updates fully incorporate the 2025 lists or include adaptations in the national control list . It does not state the number of entries added, removed or amended for each of the four regimes . No technical annex, consolidated version or comparative list appears in the available content of the FAQ .
The accessible documentation therefore identifies the four multilateral references and their 2025 edition . On the basis of the extract alone, it does not permit identification of the headings or provisions actually amended .
