US/Canada Bi-Lateral Agreement Update

The USDA's latest update on this issue is that there continues to be a lot of "behind the scenes" work on the document related to this matter. The focus of this effort is to make the transition to full ISPM 15 implementation between the two countries as easy as possible for the companies affected on both sides. Because this document continues to be a work in progress, the USDA believes full implementation of ISPM 15 between the two countries will not occur before January 2016.
