Veterinary Conditions for Importation of Pork and Pork Products

Following a review of the conditions for the importation of chilled pork, Singapore will be making trade facilitative amendments to the existing conditions and removing this particular condition in its entirety "Chilled pork has been produced under strict hygienic condition, vacuum packed and have a shelf life of over 6 weeks.With advancements in the meat industry, there is no longer a need to prescribe the type of packaging and shelf-life. The strict hygiene condition is also covered under existing accreditation requirements and therefore duplicative. Hence, the proposed amendments were made to facilitate trade. Other existing conditions for the importation of chilled pork will continue to apply.
