The Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR) in Kuwait has imposed a ban on poultry imports from Djibouti, Mali, and Romania due to bird flu outbreaks in these countries. However, the ban on imports from Lithuania and Ireland has been lifted as they no longer report any bird flu cases. PAAAFR has specified that all imports must adhere to the regulations set by the Animal Health Department and the World Organization for Animal Health. Any livestock imported and found to be infected with epidemics will be rejected, and the importer will be responsible for the costs of sending the sick animals back to the country of origin.
