Are there any taxes imposed on goods ordered online

Are there any taxes imposed on goods ordered online?
Currently in Singapore and I've ordered a laptop from UK and it's more than 2000 singapore dollars. It will be shipped in by DHL so do i need to worry about any taxes? Coz peeps have been saying that anything imported that's above S$900 is liable to the 7% GST.

Not for Private once in a wile imports, if you tell them you may have to pay say nothing know nothing and you'll be fine.
Answer 2 :
You could call your local DHL office there in Singapore and ask if there are additional custom import fees and taxes. I've had a number of friends working in foreign countries who buy computers in other countries, have a friend purchase them locally then mail them to the person working overseas. Good luck
