The border function's at the land, air and sea checkpoints were also simultaneously transferred to Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). Singapore Customs serves as the lead agency for trade facilitation and revenue enforcement. It is also responsible for implementing customs and trade-related enforcement measures, including those pertaining to Free Trade Agreements and strategic goods.
