South Korea Updates Requirements for US Dairy Products

South Korea recently updated its requirements for imported U.S. dairy products, including those that contain eggs, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service said Aug. 25. The change, which took effect in July, requires all U.S.-origin dairy products to include a dairy export certificate issued by USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service. South Korea had previously accepted manufacturer statements in addition to USDA certificates. USDA said it launched a new dairy certificate on its Agriculture Trade Licensing & Attestation Solution system to help exporters comply with the new requirement.
