Non export cert

Has anyone gotten this "Export Certificate" and does it work when coming into the country again? I assume one would get it at the desk after Departure immigration where there's a couple of Customs guys sitting?
I would speculate that certain flights (Singapore,MiddleEast) get extra scrutiny because in the past these were destinations from where folks brought in imported grey market goods for resale.
