    [BEIJING] China will stop accepting import applications from Indonesian seafood producer PT Putri Indah for one week after a batch of frozen hairtail fish from the company tested positive for the coronavirus, the customs office said on Friday.

    The suspension will take effect immediately and last for one week, the General Administration of Customs said in a notice.

    China customs said on Sept 11 it would halt imports from companies for a week if their frozen products tested positive a first or second time for the coronavirus.
