Certificate for Importation of Milk and Milk Products

Streszczenie

We are amending the regulations concerning the importation of milk and milk products to require that any milk or milk product imported into the United States from countries declared free of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease be accompanied by a certificate stating that the milk was produced and processed in a country declared free of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease, or that the milk product was processed in a country declared free of rinderpest and foot-and- mouth disease from milk produced in a country declared free of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease. The certificate must name the country in which the milk was produced and the country in which the milk or milk product was processed. Also, the certificate must state that, except for certain movement under seal, the milk or milk product has never been in any country in which rinderpest or foot-and-mouth disease exists. Requiring a certificate will help ensure that milk or milk products imported into the United States do not introduce rinderpest or foot-and-mouth disease into the United States.
