FSIS Notice 33-21: FSIS Security Paper Seven-Digit Export Stamp Enhanced Digital Signature and Statements Module for Use with the Export Module of PHIS - Phase 5

  1. This notice lists the 14 countries and territories included in Phase Five of the Public Health Information System (PHIS) export module rollout that will begin on August 30, 2021.  This notice also provides additional instructions to inspection program personnel (IPP) for the enhanced digital signature that was implemented on July 9, 2021, for all countries and territories included in the PHIS export module that accept digital signatures.  In addition, this notice also provides the same instructions issued previously for the first four phases for the ordering and use of FSIS security paper and seven-digit export stamps for exports processed through the PHIS export module.  Instructions for security paper and export stamps remain the same for Phase Five.
  2. This notice provides instructions to IPP when reviewing country-required statements generated by the PHIS statements module for the Phase Five countries that will be added to PHIS on August 30, 2021.  The PHIS statements module will replace the current use of letterhead certificates for meat and poultry exports that are processed in PHIS. Export applicants will no longer complete or attach any letterhead certificates for export applications for any of the countries added to PHIS on or after August 30, 2021. For these applicable countries in PHIS, the PHIS statements module will also be used to generate other statements that are not part of a letterhead certificate but are required as indicated in the FSIS Export Library listing for the importing country.
