Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/12/2017 - 12:45

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has been informed by the Chinese authorities that only shipments bearing the official seal of the CFIA are accepted. A Canadian meat shipment bearing official seal of a country other than Canada will not be accepted by the Chinese authorities. In case a shipment requires a CFIA replacement seal, this shipment will be required to return to Canada.

Please refer to Section 11.7.3.5 of the Meat Hygiene Manual of Procedures available online at the following link: http://inspection.gc.ca/eng/1368642496216/136864303402

Please refer to Annexes B, B-1, and B-2, in Section 11, if a shipment is to be returned to Canada. This information is available online at the following link: http://inspection.gc.ca/eng/1362883479397/1362883578588
