What You Need to Know for Export / Tranship of Animal Feed for Food-Producing Animals

Obtain the Harmonised System (HS) code 

When applying for your CCP, you will need to enter the product/HS code of your product accurately. HS codes classify and identify food or food products, as well as animal feed for import and export purposes.

You can use the Product Code Search Tool to look up product/HS codes.

Gather the supporting documents

You will need to submit the following supporting documents when applying for the CCP:

• invoices
• bill of lading/airway bill
• certificate of origin

For more information on the documents required, refer to Export Procedures for exporting goods.

Apply for export documents (if required)

The importing country/region’s authority may require export documents to be submitted for every consignment.

You can obtain the following export documents from SFA if required:

• Veterinary Certificate
• Free Sale Certificate (Animal Feed)

Only applicable to SFA-licensed manufacturers of animal feed.

Please refer to the user guide below for information on the steps for application of export certificates.

To avoid delays in processing your CCP, ensure you enter the correct HS codes and attach the supporting documents to your application.
