Why can't the pork intercepted with 20 kilograms of pork go through the customs

4hw.com.cn: the reporter learned from Chengdu Customs on the 12th that the customs of Chengdu Shuangliu Airport recently intercepted fresh diced pork, pork sausage, Spanish ham and other pork products from the luggage of two Chinese passengers, with a total weight of 20.9 kg.

It is understood that the two passengers started from Paris and Barcelona respectively and transferred to Chengdu through Amsterdam. When entering the country, they chose the undeclared channel for customs clearance. The customs officers found that there were suspected meat products in their suitcases through the X-ray machine. After unpacking inspection, they found fresh diced pork, pork sausage, Spanish ham and other meat products. The passenger concerned said that these are local specialties and are expensive. Two pieces of Spanish ham cost nearly 10000 yuan.

According to the list of animals and plants and their products prohibited from being carried or mailed into the people's Republic of China, meat (including organs) and their products (raw or cooked) are prohibited from being carried or mailed into the country. Meat and its products of any packaging form and cooking degree are not allowed to be carried or mailed into the country without quarantine. The customs officers on site intercepted the batch of meat products according to the law. At present, the global epidemic situation of African classical swine fever and other diseases is serious. This batch of pork products will be further sent to the laboratory for African classical swine fever virus testing and harmless treatment.

Chengdu Customs reminded that meat and its products carrying pathogenic microorganisms have quarantine risks, endangering agricultural and sideline industries and public health safety. Not only China, but also most countries in the world have strict restrictions and quarantine requirements on the entry of animals, plants and their products. Please understand the relevant laws and regulations in advance and don't take chances.
