Health Certificate Still Accepted by Russia

Health Certificate Still Accepted by Russia

USMEF’s staff in Russia reports today that the Russian veterinary service (VPSS) is still accepting the current U.S. health certificate with shipments of U.S. pork. There are, however, unconfirmed reports that additional U.S. facilities have been put on a watch list for potential delisting. Utah has been added to the list of states on Russia’s pork suspension list, while Russia now allows beef and poultry from California, but still won’t accept pork.
