CFIA Message: Official Meat Import Certificates

Please be advised of an important update to the submission of Official Meat Import Certificates (OMIC).

The National Import Service Centre (NISC) no longer collects a paper copy of the OMIC. As of now, facility operators should only submit the electronic copy to the responsible inspector at the facility.

To find out if your meat shipment requires an inspection from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), please use the Automated Shipment Inspection Status Search Tool (ASISST) http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/imports/commercial-importers/asisst/eng/1376414554482/1376414624555

For any further questions, please contact: OG-OO@inspection.gc.ca.
