Eligibility of the Republic of Poland To Export Poultry and Poultry Products to the United States

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing that the Republic of Poland (Poland) is eligible to export poultry products to the United States. FSIS has reviewed Poland's poultry laws, regulations, and inspection system, as implemented, and has determined that they are equivalent to the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA), the regulations implementing this statute, and the United States food safety inspection system for poultry products. Therefore, poultry products derived from poultry slaughtered and processed in certified Polish establishments are now eligible for export to the United States. Although Poland may be identified by FSIS as eligible to export poultry products to the United States, the products must also comply with all other applicable requirements of the United States, including those of USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), before any products can enter the United States. All such products will be subject to reinspection at United States points-of-entry by FSIS inspectors. Poland's poultry products eligible for import to the United States will be added to the FSIS Import Library (https:// www.fsis.usda.gov/importlibrary) on 7 October 2021.
