In order to prevent the introduction of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus into Japan, MAFF suspended the import of raw milk and/or unheated/untreated milk products from Hungary, including those shipped through third countries, on 7 March 2025, pursuant to the 'Animal Health Requirements for raw milk and/or milk products to be exported to Japan from Listed countries' and Articles 37 and 44 of the 'Act on Domestic Animal Infectious Disease Control'. Based on the information regarding FMD control measures in Hungary, it was concluded that resuming imports of raw milk and/or un-heated/un-treated milk products from Hungary would pose a negligible risk of FMD introduction into Japan. Therefore, raw milk and/or unheated/untreated milk products produced on or after 17 April 2026 are permitted for import, and G/SPS/N/JPN/1328 will be withdrawn on the date of circulation of this notification. In addition, MAFF has modified the listed countries which are defined in the 'Animal Health Requirements for raw milk and/or milk products to be exported to Japan from Listed countries' and now Hungary is included in the listed countries.
