IARN – Canada is a top five destination for both U.S. beef and pork exports, but shipments are sometimes slowed by regulatory issues. The transition to the Public Health Information System (PHIS) was supposed to simplify this process, but that has obviously not been the case so far. However, change is still possible. Courtney Heller, U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) director of export services, said some documentation obstacles persist for U.S. exporters.
