摘要：

On September 4, 2020, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development (DALRRD) informed Post that imports of all poultry products from South Carolina are reauthorized, ending the 5-month ban stemming from an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. The decision to lift the restrictions was made after a review of the outbreak, control, surveillance and eradication information, and in accordance with the agreed-upon protocol. DALRRD will commence issuing of veterinary import permits with immediate effect. The South Carolina poultry industry represents 40% of all agriculture in the state and accounts for 80% of animal agriculture.
