iFixit does not ship to any countries that are not on their list. luckily Singapore is in it! But the bad news Lithium-ion battery can’t be shipped due to air cargo restrictions!
At this time, orders containing lithium-ion batteries can only be shipped using the Standard shipping method, which has limited the shipping methods and delivery destination availability for orders containing lithium-ion batteries.
Due to these restrictions, iFixit can only ship lithium-ion batteries inside the US.
You can learn more about battery shipment restrictions and delivery timeframes here.

I’m in the UK and I’ve had laptop batteries which have been shipped from the Far East so it’s certainly possible. It’s up to the vendor to fond a carrier which will accept lithium batteries.

Thanks Philip, I will try to order it and see what happens
Although it does say this?
"Lithium ion battery shipping regulations limit the shipping methods for orders containing batteries. Domestic orders may only be shipped via Standard shipping. iFixit is not able to ship batteries internationally or outside the contiguous US at this time"
@pleriche - US shipping regulations prevent companies from shipping.
If the fault in the having an inflight event or the plane crashed was deemed to be caused by the battery the shipper would be held responsible! Which is why IFIXIT can't ship it by air.
With that said, some forwarding companies are willing to take the risk. So the shipment could be directed to such a forwarding company and they could then forward it to you. Other countries have their rules which you have to consider as well.
In a few years this will likely end as newer safer batteries are now in the process of being qualified which use different material to make them much better!
(It wasn't clear from the question that you were referring to batteries ordered from iFixit. Other suppliers may not have the same restrictions, nor, for that matter, perhaps the same quality of product!)
