MOSCOW — U.S. poultry imports to Russia next year could be at risk after Russia's food watchdog said late Friday it was still waiting on the necessary paperwork.
Rosselkhodnadzor, part of Russia's Agricultural Ministry, said it is waiting for the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service to provide a list of American poultry producers that comply with Russia's health requirements before it can issue import permits for 2009, state-run news agency RIA-Novosti reported.
In August, Moscow barred 19 U.S. poultry producers from sending their exports to Russia as relations between the two countries cooled following Russia's war earlier that month with neighboring Georgia. Russia's leadership denied the decision was political.
