Note: *St. Vincent and the Grenadines officials require that USDA export stamps be applied to any waxed boxes used to ship products certified for export by FSIS by applying the rubber export stamp to a non-waxed box surface,  by the use of a computer-generated export mark (pressure-sensitive one-time use stickers), or the application of an export mark by direct printing (i.e., inkjet application) to a non-waxed box surface to insure the export consignment can be identified with the FSIS Form 9060-5 and corresponding letterhead certificate(s).

This means that the export mark should be applied to waxed box containers by a method other than the rubber export stamp.*
