Pictures Of Problems Sent Quickly To USMEF May Help Solve Them

A recent problem caused by the finding of a very small bone in a shipment to Mexico was resolved by the Agricultural Trade Office (ATO) in Mexico City after the company concerned sent them pictures.

If freight forwarders, exporters or importers are prepared to take their own digital pictures or get the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food Products pictures quickly and send them to USMEF, USMEF and the ATO may be able to better address some of these problems and avoid rejected shipments and delistments.  

Photos of future problems can be sent to the Denver Technical Services staff — USMEF Senior Vice President, Export Services Paul Clayton, pclayton@usmef.org, Coordinator Export Services Ann Spaeth, aspaeth@usmef.org, Assistant Director, Export Services Kevin Smith, ksmith@usmef.org — or to USMEF-Mexico staff — Deputy Director of Technical Services Nelson Huerta, nhuerta@usmef.org or Regional Technical Manager Salome Kolofon, skolofon@usmef.org.
