Vietnam Sanitary and Phytosanitary Notification Authority and Enquiry Point

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending its regulations to remove lists of foreign countries eligible to export meat, poultry, and egg products to the United States. FSIS will maintain a single list of eligible foreign countries on its website. The criteria FSIS uses to evaluate whether a foreign  country  is  eligible  to  export  meat,  poultry,  or  egg  products  has  not  changed.  This  rule  will allow FSIS to more efficiently and clearly communicate equivalence determinations by maintaining a single list of exporting countries on its website, rather than maintaining one list on the website and outdated lists in the codified regulations. In addition, the Agency is amending it regulations to  remove references to the lists.
