Countries that import ham Emiliano

Animal Products and Animal By-Products

The importation of fresh, dried or canned meats or meat products is generally not allowed from most foreign countries into the United States. This includes products that have been prepared with meat.

Beef and beef products from a country not known to be infected with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) generally are enterable. However, like all other food items the meat must be unopened and commercially label indicating the country of origin and meat type.

In very few cases swine and swine products can enter the United States. Commercially canned pork is allowed if the CBP officer can determine from the label that the meat was cooked in the can after it was sealed to make it shelf-stable without refrigeration.

Poultry and poultry products from a country not known to be infected with Exotic Newcastle Disease (END) and Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) generally are able to enter the United States. The product must be unopened and commercially label indicating the country of origin and meat type. Products containing raw egg ingredients are prohibited from most regions. See Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Animal Product Import Manual, Chapter 3-6 Eggs and Egg Products. de
