Importing a Dog from China to Singapore

How to import a puppy from China to Singapore: NParks/AVS licence, microchip, rabies titer test, quarantine and the best small breeds for HDB and condo living.

Singapore has strict but clear rules. Small Chinese breeds like Shih Tzu and Chinese Crested are ideal for HDB and condo living.

Requirements (NParks / Animal & Veterinary Service)

ISO microchip
At least two rabies vaccinations
Rabies antibody titer test (≥0.5 IU/mL)
AVS import licence and advance booking
Quarantine on arrival (duration depends on country category)

Timeline

Because of the titer test and licensing, plan for 3–6 months. We map the full schedule before you reserve.

Breed notes

Singapore restricts certain breeds and sizes — small companion breeds are the safest choice. We confirm eligibility for your exact breed first.
