Jordan: FAIRS Country Report
Link to report:
This report outlines Jordan’s regulatory requirements for food and agricultural product imports. Jordan occasionally bans imports of specific products due to sanitary-phytosanitary (SPS) concerns. Agriculture Law No. 13 (2015) stipulates that the import of raw, unprocessed food items is subject to the Ministry of Agriculture granting import license approval. Prior import licensing approval is meant to ensure compliance with SPS requirements, and facilitate record keeping and statistical tracking. The Ministry of Agriculture’s import licensing regime for poultry and poultry products (e.g., chicken leg quarters) is being used to protect domestic poultry producers.
