India: FAIRS Export Certificate Report Annual

In 2022, India granted import market access to U.S. pork and pork products, marking the resolution of a long-standing barrier to U.S. agricultural trade. In the course of this year, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare/Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) published a series of notifications stipulating that effective January 1, 2023, all milk, pork and fish products imported into India require a health certificate issued by a competent authority of the exporting country in the format published in the FSSAI notification. From January 1, 2023, for all imports of dairy and dairy products, the FSSAI certificate format will supersede the current veterinary health certificate format published by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying in August 2020.
