Influenza Update

May 04, 2009

Russia has added South Carolina to its suspension list for pork, poultry and beef, effective May 2. Russia has also announced its intention to prohibit live hog and pork imports from the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Ontario, but has not listed Alberta among these trade restrictions.

At the present time, the official Trade Library guidance for ineligible products for Russia reads as follows:

Fresh/frozen poultry meat, pork and beef from animals raised or slaughtered in the States of Texas, California, and New York on or after April 21, 2009, is ineligible. Heat-treated (not less than 80° Celsius for not less than 30 minutes) meat and poultry products from these states is eligible. Product from other states may continue to transit through any of the restricted states.  

Fresh/frozen pork and pork products from swine raised or slaughtered on or after April 25, 2009, in the States of Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio is ineligible. Product from other states may continue to transit through any of the restricted states.

Fresh/frozen poultry meat, pork and beef from animals raised or slaughtered in the State of South Carolina on or after May 2, 2009, is ineligible. Heat-treated (not less than 80° Celsius for not less than 30 minutes) meat and poultry products from South Carolina is eligible. Product from other states may continue to transit through South Carolina.

USMEF is working with FSIS to clarify product eligibility for Russia and keep the trade suspension information as up-to-date as possible. This week’s updates may be slow to confirm, however, due to holiday closures in Russia. In the meantime, exporters are advised to proceed with extreme caution when shipping any product to Russia regardless of its state of origin.
