Overview
- Taiwan’s health authorities announced on November 21 that post-2011 import restrictions were lifted with immediate effect.
- The repeal removes the requirement for origin certificates for all Japanese foods and cancels radiation inspection reports for items from Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma and Chiba.
- Taiwan reports conducting roughly 270,000 radiation tests on Japanese products since 2011, with all results meeting its limits.
- The decision followed a policy notice in late summer and a 60‑day public comment period before finalization.
- Reporting notes a contrast with jurisdictions that still maintain limits, including China (and Hong Kong and Macau), South Korea and Russia.
