The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has implemented new import requirements for select feed ingredients imported from countries identified as posing a potential concern with respect to African Swine Fever (ASF). The identified products will require an import permit prior to importation from the specified countries and the conditions in the implementing order and the import permit will need to be met. These conditions may include certification of origin, heat treatment and/or hold times (depending on the product in question) designed to mitigate the risk of contamination of these products with the African Swine Fever virus.Canada has amended the list of regions or countries likely to be affected by this measure to add Sweden. The updated list is noted below:Regions or countries likely to be affected, to the extent relevant or practicable:[] All trading partners[X] Specific regions or countries: Benin; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria*; Burkina Faso; Burundi; Cabo Verde; Cambodia; Cameroon; Central African Republic; Chad; China; Congo; Côte d'Ivoire; Croatia; Czech Republic*; Dominican Republic; Estonia*; The Gambia; Germany*; Ghana; Greece*; Guinea-Bissau; Haiti; Hong Kong, China; Hungary*; India; Indonesia; Italy*; Kenya; Lao People's Democratic Republic; Latvia*; Lithuania*; Madagascar; Malawi; Malaysia; Republic of Moldova; Mongolia; Mozambique; Myanmar; Namibia; Nepal; Nigeria; Papua New Guinea; Philippines; Poland*; Republic of Korea; Republic of North Macedonia; Romania*; Russian Federation; Rwanda; Senegal; Serbia; Sierra Leone; Singapore; Slovakia*; South Africa; Sweden*; Tanzania; Thailand; Togo; Ukraine; Viet Nam; Zambia; Zimbabwe*denotes recognition of regionalization.
