Hong Kong: Clarification of Effective Dates in the Case of Avian Influenza Bans

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This report serves to remind U.S. exporters of Hong Kong’s practice of defining the effective date of a ban resulting from an avian influenza (AI) outbreak on impacted U.S. poultry and egg products, whether low or highly pathogenic, as the date of departure from the United States. This practice ensures market access for U.S. poultry products en route to Hong Kong when an outbreak occurs, even though they may have been produced within the AI incubation period. However, Hong Kong will not accept products produced long before the AI incubation period from the affected county if they depart the United States after the effective date of the ban.
