Step 1: 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.

Step 2: Gather the supporting documents

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

health certificate for SFA-approved animal feed containing meat
manufacturer’s declaration stating the product does not contain meat/meat products and is intended for animal consumption
ingredient list or product composition
invoices or packing list
bill of lading/airway bill

Step 3: Apply for a CCP

You must apply for a CCP through TradeNet for each consignment of animal feed.

The CCP is equivalent to an SFA import permit. Animal feed consignments with a valid CCP are allowed to be imported.

To avoid delays in processing your CCP, ensure you enter the correct HS codes from Step 1 and attach the supporting documents from Step 2 to your application.

Step 4: Approval by SFA

Complete permit applications are processed within 1 working day. For details, refer to Application Process & Fees for Licence / Permit / Registration for Import / Export.

Step 5: Make payment

Once your application is processed, you will be notified through TradeNet to make payment for the CCP.

Type of Food	Fees
Animal feed	$22 per consignment

For applicants with a GIRO arrangement with SFA, we will deduct the fees payable to SFA via GIRO.

For details, refer to Application Process & Fees for Licence / Permit / Registration for Import / Export.

Step 6: Print your permit

Once your CCP is approved, you can proceed to import the consignment of animal feed. You can log into TradeNet to print a copy of the CCP if you require it for checkpoint clearance.
