It should be noted that imports of certain meats from many of these countries are not permitted. The following provides details of these import restrictions: -------------------------------------------------------------- |Country |Import restrictions | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Brazil |Bone in beef meat (inc carcases and half carcases)| -------------------------------------------------------------- |Brazil |Sheep meat, inc lamb and goat meat | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Argentina|Sheep and goat meat/lamb (only from May 2002) | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Israel |Beef | -------------------------------------------------------------- |China |Sheep meat inc lamb | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Turkey |Beef, pig meat, sheep meat | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Russia |Pig meat | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Turkey |All poultry meat | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Vietnam |All poultry meat | -------------------------------------------------------------- |Egypt |All poultry meat | -------------------------------------------------------------- |China |All poultry meat was prohibited from China in 2004| -------------------------------------------------------------- Where imports are not permitted we believe that any imports recorded in the Overseas Trade Statistics represent consignments which have been exported from GB, rejected and returned or goods where the incorrect customs code have been entered. There was no recorded trade in meat and meat products during this period for the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Russia or West Bank/Gaza Strip. West Bank/Gaza Strip is the recognised designation for the Palestinian region used by HMRC.
