According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 8 May 2023, the suspension for the importation or transit of live domestic pigs and wild pigs and their carcasses from Italy since 8 May 2023 has expired on 5 August 2023.

By the virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation or transit of live domestic pigs and wild pigs and their carcasses from Italy is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days since 6 August 2023 onward in the Thai Royal Gazette.
