Lifting of the prohibition on the importation of all edible fats and oils of animal origins produced in Chinese Taipei

With effect from 25 March 2019, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has lifted the prohibition on the importation of all edible fats and oils of animal origins produced in Chinese Taipei as previously notified in G/SPS/N/HKG/40. All edible fats and oils, regardless of animal or plant origins, produced in Chinese Taipei may be imported into and sold within Hong Kong, China. The lifting of the import prohibition is based on a review of the latest situation, taking into account information provided by Chinese Taipei authorities on their inspection findings on manufacturers of edible fats and oils, surveillance results and control measures implemented.
