Ban of Frozen Meat Imports from India Removed

The exporters are required to have a certificate of origin issued by Indian authorities specifying that no COVID-19 virus on the frozen meats; and once arrived in Cambodia, those frozen meats and other frozen goods must be tested for COVID-19 by the Pasteur institute of Cambodia, it underlined.

The conditions will be eased or completely lifted if the situation of COVID-19 in the exporting country is better and following subsequent negative results of COVID-19 tests on frozen meats and products, it added.
