Idealscope/Asset scopes in Singapore

[jncheng]

On my quest for the perfect stone for my SO.
looking for any one who have previously bought the idealscope/asset scope and is willing to lend/rent me to view my shortlisted stones. im aware of them being sold online from USA/Australia, but at 100usd might be a little to steep for a temporary use. Any help/rental will be great. Unfortunately most BM and retail shops do not have the scopes images for viewing.

Ive also been looking at the various online stores via pricescope and am considering stones online. anyone care to share with me the process of shipping the loose diamond/taxes/declaration of customs/hidden fees to Singapore?

There is no duty, but the normal Goods and Services Tax (GST) does apply. GST is calculated at approximately 7% of the value.

Singapore happens to be a strong market for the quality of diamonds talked about in detail on this forum.
