Importing country requirements
It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure that the animal meets the importing country requirements.
An import permit is required.
Information on Singapore's import requirements for the commercial and non-commercial movement of animals is available at the
Singapore Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) website.
There are additional requirements for the importation of Wildlife and Endangered Species into Singapore and you should check these.
Refer to these and the Department’s website for current information about exporting animals (including any suspensions).

- For import purposes, birds include all birds other than domestic birds and include guinea fowls, partridges, parrots, parakeets, budgerigars, cockatoos, doves, peafowls, swans, finches, and other birds intended for purposes other than for consumption.
