PetClues

Customs & quarantine dossier

LHR to SIN pet dog travel customs requirements

High-urgency compliance checklist for London → Singapore pet relocation — rabies titer waits, DEFRA/USDA/AVS/DAFF forms, and quarantine gates for agencies and private clients.

Titer waiting periods make last-minute LHR→SIN moves impossible — start the vault 4–6+ months out.

Quarantine

Singapore NParks/AVS pathway — often home quarantine or facility depending on category

Rabies titer / wait

FAVN/RFFIT titer typically required with multi-month wait before export for many origins

Airline note

SIN is a high-compliance destination. Book cargo early; crate inspection photos reduce rejection risk.

Key forms

Documents for LHR → SIN

  • AVS import licence
  • FAVN rabies serology
  • Veterinary health certificate
  • DEFRA export paperwork
