Deringer operates full-service import and export meat inspection facilities in Sweet Grass, MT and Champlain, NY. These facilities have on-site United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors and are located only minutes from the US/Canada border. Deringer coordinates and monitors all federal legal requirements including labeling and documentation on your behalf, while efficiently managing logistics and maximizing opportunities for your business. Once your shipment clears Customs, Deringer professionals continue to track it to ensure that it is not subject to “failure to present” penalties by the USDA and that it reaches the final destination in a timely manner.
