Importation of Food Products Containing Poppy Seeds

 

Poppy seeds are classified as prohibited goods. Any company or person who wishes to import them or any foodstuff that contain the substances must submit the Declaration Form together with a certificate from the exporting country or the country of origin of the product containing poppy seeds to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB). A sample of the related product is to be sent to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) at 11 Outram Road, Singapore 169078, by the importer for analysis and to submit the results of analysis to CNB. In the event HSA certifies that the product is cleared of any controlled substances, ie no traces of morphine detected, CNB will endorse and approve the Declaration Form. With the endorsement by CNB, Singapore Customs will allow the products to be imported into Singapore. If the product is found to contain traces of controlled substances, then the approval for the import will not be given.
