When meat and poultry products are destined for U.S. embassies, ship stores and U.S. military use,
FSIS Form 9060-5, Meat and Poultry Export Certificate of Wholesomeness, should be issued at an
exporter's request. In addition, one of the following three statements should appear in the
"Remarks" section: (1) Product destined to U.S. Embassy, (2) Product destined to Ship Stores, or
(3) Product destined for U.S. military use.
While almost all countries accept Form 9060-5 with the appropriate statement in the "Remarks" section,
there are rare instances when a country will require additional documentation. For example, a transit
certificate is required for product destined to Germany for U.S. military use or to ship stores. When
in doubt, check the country requirements.
Visit FSIS' Web site to learn more about export requirements.
Employees with questions may also contact the Office of International Affairs officials at (202) 720-3473.
