Namibia on Monday suspended imports and in-transit movement of live poultry and poultry products from Germany and the Netherlands following an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

The Directorate of Veterinary Services said in a statement that live poultry, birds, raw/uncooked products, ostriches, and raw ostrich products from the two territories were suspended.

It said that only consignments with products packaged before Oct. 1, would be accepted, while those packaged after the cut-off date would be rejected and sent back to their territory of origin.

It would either be destroyed at the importer’s cost.

Cooked poultry products for commercial purposes from the two territories may be imported into Namibia under veterinary import permit, the directorate said.
