Is pufferfish illegal in Singapore?

Partly. Pufferfish is restricted in Singapore. Only pre-cut fugu from licensed Japanese chefs may come in.

SFA: pufferfish may be imported only from SFA-accredited establishments (currently Japan only), pre-prepared by Japanese-licensed chefs, with a health certificate per consignment (trade circular 30 Jun 2022, current SFA pages).
