BEIJING: China is suspending imports of citrus fruits, chilled white striped hairtail and frozen horse mackerel from Taiwan starting Aug. 3, China's customs said on Wednesday.
“A decision has been made to suspend the import of citrus fruits, chilled common sablefish and frozen horse mackerel from Taiwan to the mainland from August 3, 2022,” the statement said.
It is noted that this decision was made due to the repeated recent detection of quarantine pests in these products, as well as COVID-19.
Earlier in the day, China's commerce ministry said China will suspend export of natural sand to Taiwan from Aug. 3.
