 Imports from the eight U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
California, Kansas, Arkansas, Montana and Indiana, and Canadian
Province of British Columbia will resume after restrictions were
imposed for up to nearly nine months, Ministry of Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries said in a statement.
After the latest measure, restrictions on live poultry and poultry
meat still remain in place on the seven U.S. states of Minnesota,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska,
and Canadian Province of Ontario, pending local checks by Japanese
officials, a ministry official said.
Separately, a ban is imposed on imports from the U.S. state of New
Jersey of live poultry and poultry meat shipped from within the 10
km (6 miles) radius of farms where low pathogenic, avian flu was
discovered, the official added.
