Hong Kong: Entry Requirements for Poultry Products in Response to Avian Influenza May Impact Eligibility of Other Products
This report serves as a second reminder to U.S. exporters and traders that the Hong Kong Government (HKG) does not allow entry of U.S. poultry and egg products originating from affected counties reporting highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) when the bill of lading falls on or after the effective date of a ban. According to HKG’s practice, shipments which are loaded after the ban are not allowed access to Hong Kong regardless of the date of production. Moreover, in the event that eligible meat and pre-packaged products are shipped along with ineligible products in the same container, these may risk denied access to Hong Kong as all affected containers will not be released to consignees.
