Animals and animal products

The Draft of the Regulations for the Importation of Objects Subject to Animal Quarantine. Language(s): English. Number of pages: 205

The draft of the regulations includes related quarantine requirements relating to foreign animal quarantine objects imported from trading partners, and so forth. There are 23 articles, which are amended and adjusted in accordance with the "Quarantine Requirements for the Importation of Animals and Animal Products", stating the reasons for drafting the regulations that are to define importing animals and their products subject to animal quarantine, clarify the quarantine requirements prior to export, elaborate application procedures on arrival, including veterinary certificates and other relevant documents required for the application, and quarantine measures of post‑entry based on risk assessments. In addition, 53 draft amendments of quarantine requirements are attached to the articles, which elaborate on the details regarding the diseases status, diagnostic tests of certain animal infectious diseases, criteria of processing procedures, content of veterinary certificates, etc., required by the central competent authority and import/export animal quarantine authority prior to export.

Accordingly, the body of the drafted regulation is similar to the "Quarantine Requirements for the Importation of Animals and Animal Products", and the order of its attachments has been rearranged without significant amendments of substantive contents or new requirements.
