Age, Product Restrictions Lifted on U.S. Beef Exports to Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands have removed all age and product restrictions for U.S. beef products from cattle slaughtered on or after May 22, 2007. Prior to this change, which is now posted in the FSIS Export Library, U.S. beef exports were limited to boneless muscle cuts from cattle less than 30 months of age.
Through September, beef exports to the Cayman Islands have surpassed $4 million this year – an increase of more than 30 percent over the first three quarters of 2008.
