Singapore Eases Procedures for US Beef, Offal Exporters

Singapore recently revised its procedures for U.S. beef and offal suppliers to export to Singapore, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service report released May 5. The revisions, which were intended to “streamline trade” and protect domestic food security, USDA said that the Singapore Food Agency reported, will allow U.S. suppliers to skip the registration and approval process with the SFA if they already participate in Singapore’s Agricultural Marketing Service’s export verification program. Previously, exporters were required to go through an “onerous registration and approval process for each product,” the report said.
