Export Information
Designation of Firm as "Consignor"
When completing the health certificate, the consignee must be identified as an importing agent who has a business address within the "country of destination". This is not the case for the exporter or the consignor, who may be someone within the United States or from another country.

Importing countries require that importers should be fully identified, which at a minimum, include the name of the importer and the city where the importer resides. FSIS inspection personnel should obtain a street address and state, if possible.

Visit FSIS' Web site to learn more about export requirements.
