China has officially suspended all poultry imports from Chile following a recent outbreak of bird flu in the South American nation, according to an announcement from the Chinese customs authority.
The ban reflects Beijing’s commitment to safeguarding domestic livestock and public health from the spread of avian influenza. Chinese authorities have indicated that the restrictions will remain in place until Chile can demonstrate that the outbreak has been fully contained and biosecurity measures have been reinforced.
Chile is a significant exporter of poultry products to China, and this suspension is expected to have notable implications for bilateral trade between the two nations. Exporters and freight operators handling poultry shipments from Chile to China will need to adjust logistics and supply chain plans accordingly.
