Addendum

the Delegation of  the United States of America . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Eligibility of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam To Export Siluriformes Fish and Fish Products to the 
United States  
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the Siluriformes fish inspection 
regulations to list Viet Nam as a country eligible to export Siluriformes fish and fish products to the 
United States (G/SPS/N/EQV/USA/3). FSIS has reviewed Viet Nam's laws, regulations, and inspection 
system as implemented and has determined that Viet Nam's Siluriformes fish inspection system is 
equivalent to the system that the United States has established u nder the Federal Meat Inspection 
Act (FMIA) and its implementing regulations. Under this final rule, only raw Siluriformes fish and fish 
products produced in certified Vietnamese establishments are eligible for export to the United States. 
All such product s are subject to reinspection at US points -of-entry by FSIS inspectors.
