Notice - Notification of WTO Members: Import Presented Refused and Import Refusal Reason datasets


WTO code G/SPS/N/USA/3462
Date notice 24/07/2024
Notice type Regular
Title Import Presented Refused and Import Refusal Reason datasets
Summary

The US Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) plans to replace the existing Import Refusals and Import Volume datasets currently available on the FSIS website, Import and Export Data page with two new datasets, Import Presented Refused and Import Refusal Reason. The existing Import Refusals dataset is published at the lot-level, including the foreign processing establishment, whereas the existing Import Volume dataset is published at the Country, Species, Process Category, Product Category, and Product Group level. The new Import Presented Refused dataset will include lot-level information for import volume along with import refusal data at the lot-level, making it easier to compare the proportion of weight refused to weight presented. Import Refusal Reason will be provided as a secondary dataset, providing each refusal reason as its own row to facilitate analysis. Datasets will be updated monthly and will be posted the third Friday of each month, with the first release occurring on 27 September 2024, in lieu of the Import Refusals and Import Volume datasets. Data will be broken out by fiscal year (FY), starting with data from FY 2014 (starting on 1 October 2013) through the most recent FY.

Product Meat (including Siluriformes fish and fish products), poultry, and egg products
