Overview
- China’s General Administration of Customs announced on November 7 that the suspension was lifted based on a risk analysis, with immediate effect.
- The restriction was imposed on May 16 after the first and only confirmed avian influenza case in a commercial farm in Montenegro, Rio Grande do Sul.
- Brazil declared itself free of the outbreak on June 18 after 28 days without new commercial-farm cases and notified the World Organisation for Animal Health and trading partners.
- A Chinese technical delegation audited Brazil’s sanitary controls in September as part of the process leading to the decision.
- Exporters await product-by-product instructions because the notice did not specify coverage, even as China remains Brazil’s top buyer with more than 560,000 tonnes purchased in 2024.
