According to statistics from the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine, Ministry of Agriculture, since the beginning of this year (112), most cases of citizens violating animal quarantine regulations have been by those returning from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and South Korea. Common illegally imported animal products include ham sausages, sausages, cured sausages, chicken feet, duck necks, braised ducks, duck intestines, beef jerky, and semi-cooked eggs. Illegally mailed packages mainly come from mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Common illegally imported animal products include ham sausages, pork jerky, fried pork rinds, cured sausages, shredded pork rolls, phoenix rolls, almond cookies, and mooncakes containing pork; beef jerky, beef ready-to-eat meal kits, and other beef products; chicken feet, roasted necks, and fried chicken skin, and other poultry products; as well as pet food containing even-toed ungulates and avian animal ingredients. |
| III. | If pork products are illegally brought into the country from countries (regions) that have experienced African Swine Fever in the last three years and are caught, the first offense will result in a fine of NT$200,000 (hereinafter referred to as NT$), and the second offense will result in a fine of NT$1,000,000. If the offender is not a resident, and is fined NT$200,000 and cannot pay on the spot, the subordinate branch of the Bureau will transfer the case to the National Immigration Agency, Ministry of the Interior, to refuse their entry. Furthermore, since May 20, 111, for recipients in Taiwan who receive pork products mailed from countries (regions) with African Swine Fever, the first offense will result in a fine of NT$200,000, and subsequent offenses will result in a fine of NT$1,000,000. |
