BOC-NAIA frontliners are on alert against possible entry of poultry products from Brazil following a recently ordered ban by the Department of Agriculture.
The ban was reportedly issued after shipments of chicken wings from Latin American countries were found positive of COVID-19.
In furtherance with the standing order of Commissioner Rey Leonardo B. Guerrero to strengthen border control in all ports amidst continuing threats of COVID-19 virus, BOC-NAIA personnel are committed 24/7 to guard the country’s primary airport and its warehouses against attempts to import poultry products from Brazil in compliance to the latest advisory.
Since January of this year Port of NAIA has confiscated a total of 775.6 kgs of meat products without permits which arrived from African swine fever source country.
According to District Collector Carmelita M. Talusan, BOC-NAIA will continue to strengthen vigilance against entry of illegal goods and importations that pose health risks and will ensure safeguards to protect Filipino consumers.
