New FSIS Form And Letterhead Certificate Required For U.S. Beef Shipped To Hong Kong

USMEF reported yesterday that all U.S. beef exports to Hong Kong now require FSIS Form 9297-1 Export Certificate of Wholesomeness for Beef, available online, and an FSIS letterhead certificate with seven statements detailed in the FSIS Export Library of Requirements. USMEF understands that U.S. beef shipments en route to Hong Kong will be allowed entry without the new form, but all shipments from now on will need the new form and the new certificate. Exports, of course, also require FSIS Form 9060-5. Exporters should consult the FSIS export library carefully to ensure requirements are fully complied with.
