Costa
Rica Lifts Ban On U.S. Beef
Costa Rica is the latest country
to end its ban on imports of
U.S. beef. The FSIS Export
Library of Requirements, was
updated on Feb. 13, 2006 to
reflect Costa Rica’s decision to
allow imports of boneless U.S.
beef, tongues, kidneys, livers
and hearts.
Plants wishing to export to
Costa Rica should consult the
export requirements thoroughly.
Costa Rica will not mandate a
beef export verification program
(BEV) if “the slaughter or
processing plant is dedicated
exclusively to production of
beef products from animals less
than 30 months of age, and does
not use imported beef products”
Plants unable to meet this
requirement will have to be
enrolled in a BEV program.
