According to a notice issued Thursday (July 1) by FSIS, the current Russia beef certificate may be used until the new certificates are available. There is a delay in the availability of Russia pork certificates, but they will be ready for distribution on July 2. Exporters should check with their inspector to be sure an order has been placed for new certificates. - More

Both FSIS and Russia’s Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service (VPSS) consider July 1, 2010, to be the issuance date, rather than a port arrival date, for the new certificate. Therefore, beginning July 1, the new certificate must be issued for all pork shipments to Russia. - More

New Vet. Certificate
June 25, 2010
Both FSIS and Russia’s Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service (VPSS) consider July 1, 2010, to be the issuance date, rather than a port arrival date, for the new certificate. Therefore, beginning July 1, the new certificate must be issued for all pork shipments to Russia.
VPSS has also specifically instructed Russia’s ports of entry that old U.S. pork export certificates issued before July 1, 2010, will be acceptable for pork shipments that arrive in Russia after July 1, 2010.
USMEF, the National Pork Producers Council and the American Meat Institute were informed in a conference call earlier today that USDA expects new export certificates for both pork and beef to be printed and distributed by July 1. However, USDA encouraged the industry to arrange its orders and shipments so that as much product as possible is shipped by June 30 using the old certificates. This will help minimize shipping interruptions in the event that the distribution process for the new certificates encounters any unexpected delays.
