Eligibility of the Republic of Poland To Export Poultry and Poultry Products to the United States  
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing 
that the Republic of Poland (Poland) is eligible to export poultry products to the United States. 
FSIS has reviewed Poland's poultry laws, regulations, and inspection system, as implemented, and 
has determined that they are equivalent to the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA), the regulations 
implementing this statute, and the United States food safety inspection system for poultry products. 
Therefore, poultry products derived from poultry slaughtered and processed in certified Polish 
establishments are now eligible for export to the United States. Although Poland may be identified by 
FSIS as eligible to  export poultry products to the United States, the products must also comply with 
all other applicable requirements of the United States, including those of USDA's Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS), before any products can enter the United  States. All such products 
will be subject to reinspection at United States points -of-entry by FSIS inspectors. Poland's poultry 
products eligible for import to the United States will be added to the FSIS Import Library 
(https://www.fsis.usda.gov/importlibrary ) on 7 October 2021.
