9 C.F.R. § 94.25 Restrictions on the importation of live swine, pork, or pork products from certain regions free of classical swine fever.
Title 9 - Animals and Animal Products
The regions listed in paragraph (a) of this section are recognized as free of classical swine fever (CSF) in §§94.9(a) and 94.10(a) but either supplement their pork supplies with fresh (chilled or frozen) pork imported from regions considered to be affected by CSF, or supplement their pork supplies with pork from CSF-affected regions that is not processed in accordance with the requirements of this part, or share a common land border with CSF-affected regions, or import live swine from CSF-affected regions under conditions less restrictive than would be acceptable for importation into the United States. Thus, there exists a possibility that live swine, pork, or pork products from the CSF-free regions listed in paragraph (a) of this section may be commingled with live swine, pork, or pork products from CSF-affected regions, resulting in a risk of CSF introduction into the United States. Therefore, live swine, pork, or pork products and shipstores, airplane meals, and baggage containing pork or pork products, other than those articles regulated under parts 95 or 96 of this chapter, may not be imported into the United States from a region listed in paragraph (a) of this section unless the requirements in this section, in addition to other applicable requirements of part 93 of this chapter and part 327 of this title, are met. (a) Regions subject to the requirements of this section: Chile and the Mexican States of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Campeche, Chihuahua, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, Sonora, and Yucatan. (b) Live swine. The swine must be accompanied by a certification issued by a full-time salaried veterinary officer of the national government of the region of export. Upon arrival of the swine in the United States, the certification must be presented to an authorized inspector at the port of arrival. The certification must identify both the exporting region and the region of origin as a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as free of CSF at the time the swine were in the region and must state that: (1) The swine have not lived in a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as affected with CSF; (2) The swine have never been commingled with swine that have been in a region that is designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as affected with CSF; (3) The swine have not transited a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as affected with CSF unless moved directly through the region to their destination in a sealed means of conveyance with the seal intact upon arrival at the point of destination; and (4) The conveyances or materials used in transporting the swine, if previously used for transporting swine, have been cleaned and disinfected in accordance with the requirements of §93.502 of this chapter. (c) Pork or pork products. The pork or pork products must be accompanied by a certification issued by a full-time salaried veterinary officer of the national government of the region of export. Upon arrival of the pork or pork products in the United States, the certification must be presented to an authorized inspector at the port of arrival. The certification must identify both the exporting region and the region of origin of the pork or pork products as a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as free of CSF at the time the pork or pork products were in the region and must state that: (1) The pork or pork products were derived from swine that were born and raised in a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as free of CSF and were slaughtered in such a region at a federally inspected slaughter plant that is under the direct supervision of a full-time salaried veterinarian of the national government of that region and that is eligible to have its products imported into the United States under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the regulations in §327.2 of this title; (2) The pork or pork products were derived from swine that have not lived in a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as affected with CSF; (3) The pork or pork products have never been commingled with pork or pork products that have been in a region that is designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as affected with CSF; (4) The pork or pork products have not transited through a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as affected with CSF unless moved directly through the region to their destination in a sealed means of conveyance with the seal intact upon arrival at the point of destination; and (5) If processed, the pork or pork products were processed in a region designated in §§94.9 and 94.10 as free of CSF in a federally inspected processing plant that is under the direct supervision of a full-time salaried veterinary official of the national government of that region.
