Change in Disease Status of Spain Because of Swine Vesicular Disease

Zusammenfassung

We are declaring Spain free of swine vesicular disease. As part of this action, we are adding Spain to the list of countries that, although declared free of swine vesicular disease, are subject to restrictions on pork and pork products offered for importation into the United States. There have been no outbreaks of swine vesicular disease in Spain since April 1993. This rule relieves certain prohibitions and restrictions on the importation of swine and fresh, chilled, and frozen meat of swine into the United States from Spain. However, because African swine fever continues to exist in Spain, certain pork and pork products will continue to be prohibited.
