Revised certification process for U.S. meat and poultry imports to Canada

     Meat processing plant

Effective February 1, 2017 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will no longer require the signature of a USDA Veterinarian Medical Officer on the Certificate for Export of Meat and Poultry Products – the new form will still require the Export Certification signature of a USDA officer, however, this may be any officer handling the file. 

For more information, contact Brian Rowe, General Manager – Customs Consulting Services.

Quick Tip #14
Don’t just insure the value of the goods

When insuring your freight, you are fully entitled to value your goods at a price above the base cost. Valuation of goods may include all freight charges, related costs, plus 10% (or more) to cover the administrative burden of processing a claim and to cover the insured’s profit. Since duty is still payable on damaged goods, make sure you insure the amount of duty as well.
