[BEIJING] China has banned imports of pigs, wild boars and products from Belgium after an outbreak of African swine fever, as well as imports from Japan after a regular swine fever outbreak, the General Administration of Customs said on Tuesday.
The ban followed two African swine fever outbreaks confirmed in Belgium in September, and a case of regular swine fever in Japan in the same month, China's customs said in a statement posted on its official WeChat account.
China also ordered the return or destruction of products shipped from the two countries, customs said.
