The DLD order on temporary suspension of importation of live poultry and poultry carcasses from Indonesia to prevent the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)

According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 6 August 2020, the suspension for importation of live poultry and poultry carcasses from Indonesia has expired on 4 November 2020. However, the OIE reported that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) is an endemic disease in Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) disease into the country. By the virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation of live poultry and poultry carcasses from Indonesia is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days after publication in the Thai Royal Gazette (15 December 2020).
