# Hong Kong Suspends Poultry Imports From Korea's Yeoncheon-gun and Six U.S. Counties Over Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

> Hong Kong suspended imports of poultry meat, poultry products and eggs from Yeoncheon-gun in South Korea and six U.S. counties after highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks were reported in those areas. In the first nine months of 2026, Hong Kong imported about 80 tonnes of frozen poultry meat and 11.48 million eggs from South Korea, and about 33,270 tonnes of poultry meat and 92.33 million eggs from the United States.

## Why it matters

The restrictions redirect affected-area poultry and egg supplies away from Hong Kong, potentially tightening its import availability and prompting buyers to source from other origins. The impact is limited to the specified regions unless the suspensions expand.
