Azerbaijan has introduced temporary restrictions on the import of live chickens and poultry products from Iran. The decision of the State Service of Veterinary Control at the Ministry of Agriculture was made in connection with the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) on two breeding farms near the city of Tehran.
In connection with the situation, other food products from Iran will be admitted to the customs border of Azerbaijan in the presence of the certificate of the epizootic situation in the region and the safety of the food products.
According to the State Customs Committee, in the first nine months of 2016 Azerbaijan purchased 216,000 breeding eggs and 651,600 commodity eggs from Iran. In addition, 950,000 chickens were delivered from that country. -----08D
