MEXICO
HRZ Certification Language
USMEF has been informed by USDA in Mexico that the Mexican Director of Imports and Exports has assured them that the Hojas de Requistos that are valid for 60 days will retain their validity for 60 days, and the SRM removal language will not go into effect on October 30 for current HRZs. Companies may want to have their importers stock up on existing HRZs to avoid delays. USDA-Mexico expects a new HRZ to be published next week, although it may not be immediately translated and put into the online FSIS Export Library of Requirements.
Also be advised that if you or your customers have talked to SAGARPA people at the border and the border people are not aware of anything, please talk to your contacts at SAGARPA headquarters in Mexico City.
