For Business and Industry: Notice 10-06 - Certifying Beef Products To Be Exported To Japan For United States (U.S.) Military Use Questions and Answers (Aug 8, 2006)
Q2. I have a question about FSIS Notice 10-06 with regard to individual country requirements for export to military only. Can export certificates for products shipped to military bases, other than those to Japan and Mexico, be signed by an inspector instead of a veterinarian?
A. Exports to the military shipped under a military contract are generally exempt from country requirements, but some extra certification may be required. Exporters to the military are advised to check individual country requirements for information about military shipments. A veterinary signature should be provided if specifically required. Otherwise, inspectors may sign certificates for the U.S. Military.
