Meat and edible offal exports require APEDA registration, veterinary certificates and quality inspections; certain beef items prohibited. Exports distinguish prohibited beef and certain buffalo carcasses from permitted items (boneless buffalo meat; sheep and goat meat/offal) that require APEDA registration, production of APEDA Plant Registration Certificates at customs, laboratory testing and state-supervised veterinary inspections by registered veterinarians, issuance of veterinary Health Certificates, pre-shipment inspection for canned meat per applicable standards, and payment of prescribed inspection fees; gonads, reproductive organs and germplasm require an export licence.
