JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore is tightening a rule on re-exporting live animals from Oct 1 by requiring local traders to submit a health certificate issued by the animals’ country of origin to destinations that require export health documentation from the Republic.

“The health certificate should attest to the health/animal disease conditions of the re-exported live food animals,” the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said in a trade circular on Aug 25.
