The US pallet pilot project was formed to develop a protocol through which Australian Exporters can have their red meat consignments accepted by US import establishments by use of the pallet labels, without an Australian Government official being present.
This project detailed the US pilot protocol, level of compliance by participating Australian red meat exporters and US inspection facilities, and the ongoing revisions developed in response to issues encountered when exporting red meat products.
It was determined that the pilot was successful with 13 out of 14 total consignments successfully received and inspected.
