Poultry
Effective June 13 the Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service removed restrictions on imports of poultry and related products originating from or transiting the Strathbogie restricted and control areas of the state of Victoria in Australia that had been imposed due to concerns about highly-pathogenic avian influenza. There are currently no regions of Australia under APHIS import restrictions for HPAI.
