FSIS certified containers of meat and poultry products are box stamped with
information which includes the unique number of the corresponding health
certificate. The primary purpose for stamping the product is to link the
product being exported to the health certificate. These box stamps should only
be placed on the containers, not on the health certificate or any other
accompanying documentation.
The only exception to this rule is for products destined to the European Union,
Switzerland and Russia. FSIS inspection officials should check with the Office
of International Affairs (OIA) if an exporter requests that health certificates or
any additional documentation carry the box stamp. OIA specialists can be reached at
(202) 720-7473.
