Please be advised that, as of April 24, 2017, the export certification requirements for export of fresh (chilled and frozen) raw pork have been negotiated with Argentina. A final approval from Argentina is expected to follow after an onsite audit in the near future by the Argentinian authorities to confirm compliance with Resolution SENASA No. 816/02.

Operators are responsible for developing the necessary control programs in accordance with requirements stated in Annex A.  Exporters must comply with the additional labeling requirements of the Republic of Argentina.
