USDA Warns Exporters About Improper Health Certificates for Hong Kong Shipments

USDA is warning U.S. exporters to Hong Kong to make sure their goods’ health certificates are properly formatted, after a recent shipment of frozen confectionary to Hong Kong was almost rejected. The agency said the shipment had “an erroneously formatted health certificate.” U.S. exporters should “work with importers in Hong Kong to ensure that a properly formatted health certification is included when requesting an import license application,” USDA said.
