2020.03.14 CFDIACFDIA

Recently, some European countries have suffered the outbreak of avian influenza. Consequently, General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China jointly send a notice to impose the restriction on the importation of poultry and related products. After CFDIA’s confirmation with GACC, right now the policy of importation of down and feather has no change. GACC also specifically indicates following explanation on the List of Animals and Products Banned of Importation from Animal Epidemic Countries:


Washed down and feather produced in strict accordance with the relevant technical standard of OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code is not subject to the ban of avian influenza. International veterinary certificate should indicate the detailed processing parameters such as washing temperature and duration time, and cleanliness and oxygen number should meet relevant national standard.

OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code also indicates that:

Washed and steam-dried at 100 can ensure the destruction of avian influenza

Therefore we hereby remind: imported qualified washed down and feather is not subject to the importation ban of avian influenza.
