Public Health Information System (PHIS) Export Component Country Implementation

Through this addendum notification, FSIS is sharing with Member countries copies of the forthcoming revised FSIS Form 9060-5 export certificate series that FSIS will issue for all countries beginning on 29 June 2018. FSIS has made limited revisions to the 9060-5 series to better align with commonly accepted international guidance and to ensure importing country requirements are met. The revised export certificate series will be implemented with the initial launch of the Public Health Information System (PHIS) export component, FSIS' electronic application and certification system. The FSIS Form 9060-5 export certificate series includes: (1) 9060-5 (meat/poultry export certificate); (2) 9060-5S (Siluriformes fish export certificate); (3) 9060-5A (product continuation page); and (4) 9060-5B (remarks continuation page), a new addendum to provide more space for additional attestations, when required by the importing country. Samples of these revised export certificates are provided with this addendum notification. FSIS is also providing further instructions on how Central Competant Authority (CCA) officials can access USDA internet-based applications that are important for facilitating trade with the United States.
