Can we get more update information about licensing requirement of meat and especially eggs imported in hong kong in view of contamination of virus found in poultry food?

The Food and Health Bureau of Hong Kong Tuesday proposed extending the import control regime for meat and poultry to cover eggs.

Under the proposed regulation, for every consignment of imported shelled or unshelled poultry eggs commonly used for human consumption, importers must provide an official health certificate for their export issued by a competent authority recognized by Hong Kong's Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene, otherwise prior written permission from the director will be required.

In addition to a health certificate, an import license issued by the director under the Import and Export Ordinance should be obtained before the eggs can be imported. The import license and health certificates should accompany the consignment at the time of import and be produced for inspection.
