China's Shenzhen Increases Import Control Measures for Certain Frozen Meat Products

China’s Shenzhen region recently strengthened its import controls for frozen meat and aquatic products to better prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council reported Aug. 28. All covered imports must first go through a recently created “supervision warehouse” in Shenzhen, where the goods' packaging will be disinfected and samples will undergo nucleic acid tests before they can be stored, sold and processed, HKTDC said. The goods cannot leave the warehouse before obtaining a warehouse exit certificate.
