Federal FSIS admissibility governs the import itself, but certain US states and municipalities have enacted bans or restrictions on the sale of foie gras produced through force-feeding. Importers should verify the legal status in their destination market before committing to a shipment, as a federally admissible product may still face state-level sales restrictions.
The exporting country's competent authority must issue a health certificate attesting that the product meets US standards, and the foreign establishment must be listed on FSIS's approved foreign establishments roster. At the US port of entry, FSIS conducts reinspection; shipments without proper certification or from unapproved facilities will be refused. A licensed customs broker can help ensure all entry documents are in order.
