The shelf life/quality maintenance period and production date must be included in the remarks section of the 9060-5EP.

Establishments must provide a signed statement to FSIS inspection personnel certifying that the above information is accurate and scientifically valid. After receiving this information, FSIS inspection personnel may sign FSIS Form 9060-5EP. FSIS Form 9060-5EP is available from the FSIS supply office.


Documentation Requirements

The following information is provided for the exporter: Effective August 4, 2016, the Republic of Korea has requested that the original copy of FSIS Form 9060 series and the FSIS Letterhead Certificate be presented to the Quarantine Inspection Agency (QIA). The quadruplicate copy of FSIS Form 9060 series and the duplicate copy of the FSIS Letterhead Certificate should be presented to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).

  1. Obtain FSIS 9060-5EP Egg Product Export Certificate of Wholesomeness
  2. Obtain the FSIS Letterhead Certificate. The certifying official should sign both the original and duplicate copies of the Letterhead Certificate. For all egg products, the following statements must be provided on a FSIS Letterhead Certificate:
    1. Egg products are regulated and inspected by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
    2. Eggs are analyzed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for chemical contaminants, including drug residues, pesticide residues, dioxins and PCB’s. Eggs are also subject to periodic FDA total diet surveys, which includes analysis for pesticides, heavy metals, radionuclides and dioxins.
    3. Egg products from this facility are legally distributed in the U.S. for human consumption. As such, the manufacturer is required to comply with relevant food standards.
    4. Egg products from this facility are subject to recall and/or legal consequences if found to be out of compliance with U.S. food regulatory standards.

Please note that individual establishments are not required to perform residue testing on egg products. FSIS inspection personnel may sign the Letterhead Certificate based on FDA national sampling programs for egg residues.

  1. Beef or beef products derived from (1) cattle born and raised in the United States, (2) cattle imported into the United States, for example from Canada, and raised in the United States for at least 100 days prior to slaughter, or (3) cattle legally imported into the United States from a country deemed eligible by the Korean government to export beef or beef products to Korea. Presently limited to Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand.

  2. Korean beef importers and U.S. exporters have reached a commercial understanding that, as a transitional measure, only U.S. beef from cattle less than 30-months of age will be shipped to Korea. AMS has set up a voluntary Quality System Assessment (QSA) Program to verify that beef from participating plants will be from cattle less than 30 months of age. Information regarding USDA Bovine Export Verification (EV) Programs can be found at the AMS Web site and information regarding the AMS QSA LT30 Age Verification Programs can be found at the AMS Web site. Eligible beef and beef products must be produced under an approved AMS EV program for beef to Korea. At this time, Korea will not accept at port-of-entry shipments of beef without the QSA program statement in the Remarks section of the FSIS 9060-5 as described in the Documentation section, and Korean quarantine officials will return shipments without the statement to the owner/agent of the product. A list of QSA approved establishments and their approval dates can be obtained from the AMS Web site.

    Eligible beef and beef products, including bone-in beef, deboned beef, offal, and variety meats must be derived from animals slaughtered on or after the QSA program approval date of the slaughter establishment. Beef and beef product derived from certain categories of cattle imported from Canada, imported beef and beef products, and processed beef products are ineligible. See B. Ineligible Products.

    Note: Exporters interested in shipping eligible small intestine to Korea are advised to contact USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service office at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul at agseoul@usda.gov before preparing a shipment, as these products may experience difficulty clearing quarantine inspection.

    Each establishment that participates in the AMS EV Program for beef to Korea is required to maintain a unique product identification system, which can be accessed by authorized FSIS inspection personnel on SharePoint.

    If FSIS inspection personnel become aware of concerns that a USDA approved EV establishment is not properly executing its EV program, export certification should not be issued for the product in question and AMS should be notified at QAD.AuditService@usda.gov. Inspection personnel should include their immediate supervisor on messages to AMS. The following information should be included in the message:

    • Establishment name, address, and establishment number
    • Product type, product code, and quantity of product
    • Date of production, lot number, and shift
    • Date and nature of observation
    • Name of country product is intended for export
    • Export certificate number (if applicable)
    • Any other information to verify claim
    • Name of inspection official
  3. Deboned beef derived from cattle less than 30 months of age that was processed at eligible establishments before October 5, 2007 are eligible. The beef is to have been produced according to the AMS EV program in place at the time of production. A list of eligible establishments and their specific periods of eligibility are available at AMS' Web site.
  4. Heat treated poultry meat and poultry meat products slaughtered and processed on or after January 1, 2015 but prior to January 1, 2016 that is sourced from birds hatched and raised in the United States or legally imported into the United States are eligible. Heat treated poultry meat and poultry meat products slaughtered and processed on or after January 1, 2016 and sourced from birds hatched and raised in the United States are eligible except as indicated in the ineligible section.
  5. Poultry meat and poultry meat products sourced from birds hatched and raised in the United States.

    2. Non-heat treated poultry meat and poultry meat products sourced from birds hatched and raised in the United States and slaughtered and processed on or after November 19, 2015 are eligible except as indicated in the Ineligible product section.
    3. USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has set up a voluntary Poultry Export Verification (EV) Program for Korea to verify that poultry meat and poultry meat products were sourced from birds, other than commercially raised chickens, ducks and geese, which were hatched and raised in the United States. Certification that commercially raised chickens, ducks, and geese are hatched and raised in the United States can be made based upon assurances provided by the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS); therefore, commercially raised chickens, ducks, and geese are exempt from participating in the Poultry EV Program. Exporting establishments that slaughter and process birds, other than commercially raised chickens, ducks and geese, must participate in the Poultry EV Program in order to export poultry meat and poultry meat products to Korea. Information about the Poultry EV Program and a list of Poultry EV approved establishments and their approval dates can be found at the AMS website. Each establishment that participates in the Poultry EV Program for Korea is required to maintain a unique product identification system, which can be accessed by authorized FSIS inspection personnel on SharePoint.
    4.

Poultry meat and poultry meat products eligible for export to Korea must be handled in a manner that ensures that they are not commingled with imported poultry meat or poultry meat products. USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has set up a voluntary Poultry Export Verification (EV) Program for Korea to verify that poultry meat and poultry meat products eligible for export to Korea are not commingled with imported poultry meat and poultry meat products. Exporting establishments that receive and process imported poultry meat or poultry meat products must participate in the Poultry EV Program to be eligible to export poultry to Korea. Information about the Poultry EV Program and a list of Poultry EV approved establishments and their approval dates can be found at the AMS website. Each establishment that participates in the Poultry EV Program for Korea is required to maintain a unique product identification system, which can be accessed by authorized FSIS inspection personnel on SharePoint. Establishments that exclusively process domestic poultry meat and poultry meat products are exempt from participating in the Poultry EV Program.

  1. Non-heat treated poultry meat and poultry meat products that are indicated as eligible above are required to be handled in a manner that ensures that they are not commingled with imported poultry meat or poultry meat products.
  2. Heat-treated poultry meat and poultry meat products that are indicated as eligible above are required to be handled in a manner that ensures that they are not commingled with imported poultry meat or poultry meat products.
  3. If FSIS inspection personnel become aware of concerns that an approved Poultry EV establishment is not properly executing its Poultry EV program, export certification should not be issued for the product in question and AMS should be notified at QAD.AuditService@usda.gov. Inspection personnel should include their immediate supervisor on messages to AMS. The following information should be included in the message:
    1. Establishment name, address, and establishment number
    2. Product type, product code, and quantity of product
    3. Date of production, lot number, and shift
    4. Date and nature of observation
    5. Name of country product is intended for export
    6. Export certificate number (if applicable)
    7. Any other information to verify claim
    8. Name of inspection official

  1. The country of origin must be indicated on the outside carton for all products. Meat products with multiple country origins on the label are prohibited and will cause the product to be rejected.
  2. Labels applied to Porterhouse steaks and T-bone steaks that are to be exported to Korea are to include a statement that these cuts are from animals less than 30 months of age.
  3. Product labeling that shows a country of destination other than Korea or is marked with Korea and a third country will cause the product to be rejected effective March 1, 2010.

Note to Exporter: Exporters interested in shipping eligible meat, poultry, and processed meat, poultry and egg products to Korea should follow the guidance outlined below and review FAS GAIN Report: KS2024-0017 before preparing a shipment. For additional questions, please contact USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (Office of Agricultural Affairs) at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul at agseoul@usda.gov.

  1. Boxed beef, pork, poultry products: As of July 1, 2025, if a handling statement is included on the box, the specific storage state must be indicated on at least one label for boxed beef, pork, and poultry products. Please refer to FAS GAIN Report: KS2024-0017 for a full outline of how to indicate the specific storage state utilizing either a single label handling statement (i.e. Keep Refrigerated) or dual label handling statement (i.e. Keep Refrigerated or Frozen).
  2.  
  3. Processed pork, poultry, egg products: As of October 1, 2024, retail facing handling statements shall utilize a single label matching the product condition when exported (example: Frozen product must be labeled as "frozen" or "Keep Frozen"). As of January 1, 2025, dual labels should not be utilized on U.S. processed meat, poultry, or egg products.

The following information is provided for the exporter: Effective August 4, 2016, the Republic of Korea has requested that the original copy of FSIS Form 9060 series be presented to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (APQA) and the quadruplicate copy of FSIS Form 9060 series be presented to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). If FSIS Form 9060-5A is used, a duplicate copy should be provided. The certifying official should sign both original and duplicate copies of FSIS Form 9060-5A.

All FSIS export certificates accompanying product must be signed by an FSIS veterinarian. The veterinary degree (DVM or equivalent) must be indicated after the signature.

Exporter Note: Korean regulatory authorities will not accept product if the original certificate was endorsed by the veterinarian after the consignment has arrived in Korea

      1. Obtain FSIS 9060-5, Meat and Poultry Export Certificate of Wholesomeness.

        Note: Korean beef importers and U.S. exporters have reached a commercial understanding that only U.S. beef from cattle under 30-months of age will be shipped to Korea at this time, as a transitional measure. AMS has set up a voluntary Quality System Assessment (QSA) Program to verify that beef from participating plants will be from cattle less than 30 months of age. Exporting establishments may choose to participate in the AMS Quality Systems Assessment (QSA) program that verifies the beef being certified is from cattle less than 30 months of age. Participation in this program is not required for issuance of the FSIS 9060-5. However, for establishments that do participate in the AMS QSA program, the following statement may appear in Remarks on the FSIS8 9060-5: "The beef or beef products were produced at a verified establishment under the USDA Less than 30 Month Age Verification USDA Quality System Assessment (QSA) Program for Korea." A list of QSA approved establishments can be obtained from the AMS Web site.

        Warning: Exporters are hereby warned that shipments of beef without the QSA program statement referenced above will not be accepted for port-of-entry inspection in Korea at this time, and any such shipment will be returned to the owner/agent by Korean quarantine officials.

Products that have positive test results will be rejected.
  2. Chemical Residue Limits. U.S. meat products may be rejected due to inconsistencies between U.S. and Korean standards for residues in meat products. 
  3. Use of tenderizers and irradiation. Korea has specific requirements when tenderizers and irradiation are used in the production of beef and beef products. Beef and beef products produced using these processes that do not meet Korea requirements will be rejected. Poultry meat and poultry meat products cannot be treated with ionizing, ultraviolet rays, tenderizers, or other products likely to alter its nature or components.
  4. ROK requires kidneys to be removed from all poultry carcasses. An exception to this requirement allows for kidneys to remain in broiler carcasses. ROK allows the importation of whole poultry carcasses with giblets. If packed together with the carcass the giblets must be placed in an airtight package.
  5. Military Shipments. Shipments of meat destined solely for distribution to the U.S. military are not required to meet Republic of Korea standards. Military shipments are not exempt from animal health requirements, including AI restrictions, for exports to Korea.
  6. Ship Stores. For meat and poultry products exported to ship stores, the same export certificates must accompany the product as are required by the Republic of Korea. The only exception is when the container is off-loaded directly to a bonded yard and picked up at the yard by the cruise ship without entering quarantine areas (ship to ship). If the exporter indicates in Block 14 of FSIS 9060-6, Application for Export Certificate, that the product will meet this requirement, product is not required to meet Korea requirements (including animal disease restrictions) if the container is not opened, and FSIS can issue basic export certification (FSIS Form 9060-5 with "Ships Stores" in the Remarks).
  7. Samples and products intended for personal consumption must meet all Republic of Korea standards, including the AMS QSA program requirement for beef. They must also be accompanied by the same export certificates applicable to the product as required by Korea and described in the "Documentation Requirements" section.
  8. Products containing both meat or poultry and processed egg ingredients, bearing the USDA mark of inspection, must be produced under the USDA AMS Further Processed Egg Products Verification (PEEPEV) program. In addition to all applicable FSIS export certificates required to accompany the meat or poultry product exported to the Republic of Korea, exporters must obtain AMS Form LPS-234 for the egg ingredient in the product. Please contact AMS at EV.Export@usda.gov for more information.

  1. Beef products: Federally inspected establishments producing beef and beef products intended for export to Korea need to participate in the AMS EV program and be listed on the "Official Listing of Eligible Suppliers for USDA Bovine EV Program." Inspection program personnel can access the list at AMS' Website.  

    Approved slaughter/processing facilities are responsible for designating cold storage locations for their exports to Korea. The List of Designated Cold Storage Facilities can be accessed by authorized FSIS inspection personnel on the SharePoint.
     

  2. All other meat and poultry products: All other meat and poultry products that are eligible for export to Korea can originate from any federally inspected establishment.

    Note: Certain establishments may be suspended from exporting to Korea. These suspensions are described in the "Plants Delisted for Export" section

Note: Korea compares both the exporting and producing plant information entered on the export certificate to the listing in the FSIS Meat and Poultry Inspection (MPI) Directory. If the establishment is not listed in the directory or if any information about the plant (i.e., company name, address, or type of operation code following the establishment number in the directory) is different from that published in the directory, product may be detained.

Note: For establishments exporting products containing poultry from the establishments listed below, these products are ineligible for export if the poultry is processed on or after the date of the suspension.
