FSIS is responsible for ensuring that domestic and imported meat, poultry and egg products distributed in U.S.
commerce as human food are wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled. This authority extends to the control
of undenatured inedible meat and egg products that have the appearance of being fit for human consumption, but
are intended for the manufacture of articles not for human food. FSIS permits the movement of imported undenatured
inedible meat and egg products, subject to approval of a permit issued by FSIS and prior notice given in advance
of the arrival of each shipment moving under this permit. Inedible poultry must be denatured regardless of the intended
use (9CFR 381.193).
Undenatured inedible permits are not issued by FSIS for any inedible product that is denatured. To request an approval to
import undenatured inedible meat or egg products, applicants may contact the Office of International Affairs, Import Inspection
Division at (202) 720-9904, or e-mail
importinspection@fsis.usda.gov for more details.
