Constituent Update

FSIS has made corrections to the article "FSIS to Launch New Printing Procedures for Digitally Signed PHIS Export Certificates." FSIS apologies for the errors. The correct article appears below.

FSIS to Launch New Printing Procedures for Digitally Signed PHIS Export Certificates

FSIS is announcing that, beginning on May 16, 2022, approved export certificates will be printed on plain paper rather than security paper for those countries and territories that receive digitally signed export certificates (FSIS Form 9060-5 series) generated in FSIS' Public Health Information System (PHIS). FSIS has published a World Trade Organization (WTO) notification to inform countries of this change (G/SPS/N/USA/3311). 

This plain paper printed export certificate will continue to facilitate lawful entry of the certified export shipment into the importing country when a paper certificate is required, and will include a watermark stating, "Approved Certificate – Available for Validation in PHIS." The new watermark will appear on the digitally signed PDF in PHIS and paper versions printed from the PHIS 9060 grid, where approved certificates are viewable in PHIS. Beginning on May 16, 2022, industry users authorized to use PHIS will be able to print approved and digitally signed export certificates on plain paper from the PHIS 9060 grid.

The digitally signed Form 9060-5 series export certificate will continue to be retained in PHIS as a PDF document for secure viewing and authentication by an importing country's government officials who have chosen to register for PHIS access through the Certificate Signature Viewer (CSV) role. More information about the CSV can be found in FSIS' CSV User Guide, and FSIS encourages interested countries to pursue registration for the CSV role as indicated in the WTO notification (G/SPS/N/USA/3311). An FSIS notice on these changes will be made available and posted to FSIS' website prior to May 16, 2022.
