Pakistan has banned poultry imports from a list of countries, 19 in total, in a bid to prevent bird flu from entering the country. Imports of poultry, poultry products and other captive live birds from Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Africa, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Turkey, Greece, Romania and China would be banned until further notice, the government said.

However, imports of de-sugared or de-glucosed whole egg powder from China would still be allowed.
