U.S. Customs and Border Protection December 28, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document provides notice that effective January 3, 2011, the export certification requirement for imports of beef from Australia subject to quantitative restraints will be accomplished through the Electronic Certification System (eCERT). Beginning on that date, all such imports must be accompanied by an eCERT transmission in lieu of the paper export certificate. This change is being made at the request of Australia's Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries and with the approval of the United States Government.
