    Plants Eligible to Export

    All federally inspected egg product plants are eligible to export to Singapore.

 

  1. Beef and beef products, including offal, except as indicated in the ineligible section below. Beef and beef products derived from cattle of all ages born, raised, and slaughtered in the US, and feeder cattle born in Canada or Mexico and raised and slaughtered in the US are eligible for export to Singapore. Boneless beef and boneless beef products derived from Canadian cattle less than 30 months of age slaughtered in the US and veal and veal products derived from Canadian veal under 12 months of age slaughtered in the US are eligible. All eligible beef, beef products and beef offal must be produced under an approved AMS Export Verification (EV) program for beef to Singapore. Information about the EV program for Singapore and a list of BEV approved establishments can be obtained from AMS' Web site.

    Effective March 19, 2012, a Statement of Verification (SOV) is no longer required as part of the export certification process for Singapore.

    FSIS inspection personnel will continue to verify the eligibility of the establishment and product. Each establishment that participates in the AMS EV Program for beef to Singapore is required to maintain a unique product identification system, which can be accessed by authorized FSIS inspection personnel on SharePoint. Additional details on the Export Verification programs can be accessed on the Export Verification (EV) Programs Additional Requirements page on the AMS' Web site.

    If FSIS inspection personnel become aware of concerns that an AMS approved EV establishment is not properly executing its EV program, export certification should not be issued for the product in question and AMS should be notified at QAD.AuditService@ams.usda.gov. Inspection personnel should include their immediate supervisor on messages to AMS. The following information should be included in the message:
    • Establishment name, address, and establishment number
    • Product type, product code, and quantity of product
    • Date of production, lot number, and shift
    • Date and nature of observation
    • Name of country product is intended for export
    • Export certificate number (if applicable)
    • Any other information to verify claim
    • Name of inspection official

    1. The export applicant must provide information about the consignment that includes specific product identification information, production date, number of boxes, manufacturer, and the statement "Product meets EV Program requirements for Singapore" in Block 24 of FSIS Form 9060-6.

    2. The date of slaughter must be included on FSIS Form 9435-1  Range of dates is acceptable. The date should show the month, day and year but no specific format is required. SFA recommends that US suppliers may clarify the date-marking format that they use, i.e., the format can be accompanied by appropriate abbreviation, for example, “(YYYY/MM/DD):20221231”). It is preferred that the date format be consistent with the format used on the shipping cartons. The slaughter date must be on or after the approved date on the AMS list of BEV Singapore approved establishments.

    3. In addition to FSIS 9060-5 and FSIS Form 9435-1 , obtain an FSIS Letterhead Certificate* with the following statements:

  1. Shipping cartons of all fresh/frozen meat and poultry products must bear slaughter or production dates. The date should show the month, day and year but no specific format is required. It is preferred that the date format used on shipping cartons be consistent with that used on FSIS Form 9060-5, Meat and Poultry Certificate of Wholesomeness and FSIS Form 9435-1. Code dating is acceptable for lot identification, but not for slaughter or production dates.

      2. Product was frozen "off premises" and an "Off-Premises Freezing Quality Control Certificate for Product Shipped to Singapore" certificate is provided to FSIS as industry certification of freezing procedures.

  2. The commercial seal number must be entered into the "Remarks" section on FSIS Form 9060-5. In the event a USDA seal is recorded in the Remarks section of FSIS Form 9060-5, this supersedes the requirement for a commercial seal number, thus a commercial seal is not needed. Air shipments are exempt from requiring a container seal number.
    1. If the commercial seal number is known at the time that the product is certified for export, the exporter should indicate the number in block 24 on FSIS 9060-6, Application for Export Certificate. In addition, the seal number should be included in the "Remarks" on of FSIS Form 9060-5.
    2. If the commercial seal number is NOT known at the time that the product is certified for export:
      1. The applicant completes FSIS Form 9060-6, Application for Export to include all required information, and in block 24, enters the company name, contact person, address, and phone number of the company that will load and seal the container. FSIS will then provide the FSIS Form 9060-5, allow product to be stamped with the export stamp, perform export inspection, and allow shipment of the product without signing FSIS Form 9060-6, FSIS Form 9060-5 and the corresponding FSIS Form 9435-1.
      2. The unsigned certificates are to be held by the original applicant. When the commercial seal number is obtained, they are to be entered in block 24 of FSIS Form 9060-6 and in the "Remarks" on FSIS Form 9060-5.
      3. The applicant then requests signature of the completed FSIS Form 9060-6 by the same FSIS inspection office that provided export inspection. FSIS Form 9060-5 and the corresponding FSIS Form 9435-1. can then be signed by an FSIS veterinarian.
    3. Obtain FSIS Form 9435-1. When completing the FSIS Form 9435-1, please check to ensure that the following information is correctly reflected on the certificate:
      1. production dates on the certificate agree with production dates indicated on the product
      2. date of manufacture is prior to date of certification
      3. correct manufacture and slaughter dates must be listed on the FSIS Form 9435-1, where requested
