Please forward a letter from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture. Recently, the number of cases of Taiwanese tourists illegally bringing in quarantined animals and plants has increased slightly. Please do not bring quarantined animals and plants into the country when returning to Taiwan to avoid being punished.

As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the number of cases of tourists illegally bringing in rice dumplings is expected to increase. Please do not bring quarantined animals and plants into the country illegally when entering the country, and inform relatives and friends abroad not to mail quarantined animals such as pork products to Taiwan to avoid being punished.

Common illegal imported animal products include ham, sausage, Chinese sausage, chicken feet, duck neck, salted duck, duck intestines, beef jerky and half-cooked eggs.
