CHAPTER 10 IMPORTS Introduction10.1 INTRODUCTIONThe meat import program is designed to ensure imported meat products are equivalent toCanadian standards. The main considerations are consumer protection (public health) andprevention of introduction of a serious epizootic disease (animal health).10.2 Scope of the Import Control for Meat and Meat Products and their Legal Basis10.2.1 Public Health AspectsMeat import is regulated by the Meat Inspection Act (MIA) and the Meat InspectionRegulations, 1990 (MIR). The legislation prescribes conditions for interprovincial andinternational trade in meat products. (MIA Sections 7 to 9)The conditions apply to meat products derived from carcasses of mammals or birds andinclude any other animal that is prescribed for the purpose of the Act or that falls within aclass of animals prescribed for those purposes (MIA, sub-section 2(1) “animal”).The species of animals are further specified in the MIR sub-section 2(1) “bird” and “foodanimal”. As a consequence, MIA and MIR limit the allowed trade in meat products to thosederived from a “bird” and “food animal”. Species of mammals (except marine mammals) andbirds not conforming to these definitions may not be traded inter-provincially orinternationally.Trade in meat products derived from classes of animals, other than birds or mammals, andthe marine mammals are subject to other Canadian legislation and may be traded interprovinciallyand internationally if they comply with that legislation.A meat product is defined by the Meat Inspection Act as:1. a carcass;2. the blood of an animal or a product or by-product of a carcass; or3. a product containing anything described in paragraph (2).For exempted meat products see 10.2.4For in-transit meat products shipments see 10.2.5For inedible meat products according to the MIR, see 10.2.610.2.2 Animal Health AspectsThe legal basis for animal health related restrictions on importation of meat and meatproducts can be found in the Health of Animals Act and Regulations (part IV).Restrictions may be placed on the type of meat product which can be permitted entry intoCanada from any given country, depending on the status of that country with regard toserious animal diseases. Refer to Annex A of this chapter for specific import conditions.In the case of those countries which are not considered free from serious animal disease(except Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or BSE), imports are generally limited to thefollowing:(a) commercially sterile, cooked, canned meat products that are shelf stable (cannedincludes all types of hermetically sealed containers, e.g. retortable pouches, glass jars,etc.);(b) edible tallow and oleo stearine;2012-12-10- 1
