Nicaragua: Avian Influenza Heightens Commercial Risk for US Exporters

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NU2022-0014

The Government of Nicaragua has refused to issue import permits or has rejected shipments of U.S. poultry products – including raw frozen cuts, fully cooked products, and day-old chicks – from U.S. states where high pathogenicity avian influenza cases have been reported. To minimize the risk of commercial loss, FAS/Managua advises U.S. exporters to work closely with Nicaraguan importers before shipping poultry products.
