Competitors with firearms and/or ammunition in their checked
baggage, who are merely transiting Singapore airport (e.g. changing
planes or airlines), are not required to apply for a permit, or
complete any forms, or take any other action, because the transfer
will be done automatically by ground handling staff.
However note that exorbitant transfer fees
apply, even for transit passengers!
If the competitor is terminating his flight in Singapore and wants to
exit the airport, he must retrieve his baggage from the baggage
claim area, then deposit the firearms and ammunition with Singapore Customs.
If the competitor wants to actually attend a shooting match in
Singapore, and therefore take his firearms and ammunition with him,
then prior arrangements must be made well in advance with IPSC Singapore, who can be contacted by
email.
