Export Requirements Updated
Boneless beef, bone-in beef and beef byproducts derived from cattle under 30 months of age will be eligible from production establishments and cold storages that are approved following a joint United States-Russia on-site inspection.
Beef and beef byproducts must be derived from cattle raised in the United States and must be processed in a manner to prevent contamination with brain, spinal cord, eyes, skull and vertebral column regardless of the age of the animal. Cattle imported from Mexico and Canada for direct slaughter are not eligible.
Eligible beef and beef byproducts must be produced under the approved AMS Export Verification (EV) program for beef to Russia.
Production establishments interested in exporting beef to Russia must file a form with AMS. Production and cold storage establishments also should contact USMEF Export Services Coordinator Ann Spaeth at (303) 623-6328 or e-mail aspaeth@usmef.org by Friday, Dec. 8 if they have not already done so. USDA, in conjunction with USMEF, will use the production plant and cold storage lists to develop a schedule of on-site plant inspections by Russian officials.
Pork slaughter, processing and cold storage establishments seeking approval to export to Russian Federation must submit FSIS Form 9080-3, Establishment Application for Export to the FSIS Office of International Affairs by phone (202) 720-0082 or fax (202) 720-7990.
The FSIS Office of International Affairs will certify these establishments to the Russian Federation. On-site review by a Russian official prior to approval is no longer required. Product should not be produced or certified for export to Russia from these establishments until they have been added to the List of Approved Raw Pork and Cold Storage Establishments.
As additional export information for Russia comes forward, USMEF will continue to provide updates for members.
