In 1999, the United States imported approximately 3.3 billion pounds of meat and poultry from 31 countries.
– 86 % Fresh Red Meat • manufacturing, carcasses and cuts
– 1 % Fresh Poultry– 13 % Processed Meat/Poultry

FSIS reinspects meat and poultry products at ports of entry before they are allowed into U.S. commerce.

About 75 FSIS import inspectors carry out reinspection at approximately 150 official import establishments.

All shipments are reinspected for:
• Transportation damage
• Labeling
• Proper certification
• General condition
• Box count

Additional Types of Inspection (TOI) are assigned, depending upon the type of product being presented.

Reinspection is performance-based:
Better performing foreign establishments have their products reinspected less frequently.

PORT OF ENTRY REINSPECTION PORT OF ENTRY REINSPECTION CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
Port of Entry reinspection data provides a record of the effectiveness of the foreign inspection system.
Provides data which enables FSIS to shift reinspection and audit resources to foreign inspection systems with potential health risks.
