China lifts almost 5-year ban on import of US poultry 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy EFE-EPAChina has lifted import restrictions on poultry products from the United States after nearly five years, according to the General Administration of Customs and the Ministry of Agriculture. In January 2015, China banned the import of chicken and poultry products from the US to protect itself from bird flu that had been recorded in some areas of America in 2013 and 2014. The statement said that following the lifting of US import restrictions, Chinese poultry imports would expand to effectively respond to market demands. According to US trade authorities, the end of the import ban would result in the export of poultry products worth more than $1 billion to China annually.
