Conditions governing the Admission of New Zealand Meat into the United States of America.—Notice No. 1713.

Department of Agriculture, Industries, and Commerce,
Wellington, 31st July, 1913.

OFFICIAL intimation has been received from the United States Government that the system of meat-inspection in force in New Zealand satisfies the requirements of that country, and that New Zealand meat will in future be admitted into the United States without further sanitary restrictions, provided that each carcase is stamped on the four quarters with indelible ink indicating that it has passed inspection, and provided further that carcases are accompanied by certificate tags endorsed by the New Zealand Inspector, and reading as follows :—

“This meat has been examined by me, and by ante- and post-mortem veterinary inspection is found to be free from disease and suitable in every way for human consumption; and the meat has not been treated with chemical preservatives or other foreign substances injurious to health.”

The Department of Agriculture, Industries, and Commerce of this Dominion will make the necessary arrangements to meet the United States requirements, and on notification being made to it by exporters of meat to that country will specially stamp the carcases. Approved certificate tags containing the wording prescribed by the United States authorities must be supplied by exporters, as in the case of meat exported to other countries.

W. F. MASSEY,
Minister of Agriculture and of Industries and Commerce.
