Poultry imports, from any country, can only clear customs with the presentation of a licence from the Veterinary Organisation.


Iranian television aired customs officials saying: “In view of the spread of ultra-acute bird flu in a number of countries, imports of live birds and poultry products have been banned from Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, China, Vietnam, Korea and Cambodia.”
