Certification For Export Of Beef And
Beef Products To Korea
An agreement has been reached with South Korea allowing for certification of beef and beef products intended for export to South Korea.
The statement on the export form for South Korea (9305-3) will be changed to read:
“The meat was derived from animals born and raised in the United States or from animals which were resident in the United States for at least 3 months.”
Another statement will be added to read:
“The meat was derived from animals which were slaughtered in the United States.”
The Food Safety and Inspection Service will create these new certificates and all beef and beef products shipped on or after October 1, 2003 will need to be accompanied by this new certification. This is not part of the Beef Export Verification (BEV) Program, which is exclusively for beef exports to Japan.
Russia Reopens Border To Canadian Beef
The Canada Beef Export Federation announced yesterday that Russia has ended its ban on imports of Canadian boneless beef.
The lifting of the ban, imposed after a discovery of a single case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Canada, means that boneless beef from cattle can be exported to Russia without having to come from cattle under 30 months of age. If the boneless beef is derived from animals 30 months of age or less, it must be certified that the animals were born and raised in Canada and originate from farms that have never recorded a case of BSE; if it is derived from animals over 30 months of age, it must be certified that the animals were tested to be free of BSE.

USMEF has completed a market opportunity report for pork on Dual Purpose Cuts For The Russian Market in both the processing and retail sectors. Monty Brown, USMEF pork consultant to Russia and Europe, has completed a pilot study that concludes U.S. pork exporters to Russia can increase profits and add value to the pork carcass by developing cuts that serve a dual purpose — marketed as both cuts for processing and manufacturing and as retail "certified" cuts.
