BEIJING, March 15 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese mainland resumes the entry of chilled largehead hairtail and frozen horse mackerel from the Taiwan region starting from Wednesday, said a mainland spokesperson.

The General Administration of Customs (GAC) has made the decision in order to promote the sound development of cross-Strait trade, said Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.

The mainland has earlier removed nucleic acid testing and COVID-19 monitoring requirements for imported cold-chain foods following the optimization and adjustment of its COVID-19 prevention and control measures, Ma said.

In August 2022, the GAC announced a suspension of the entry of chilled largehead hairtail and frozen horse mackerel from the Taiwan region, after such products from Taiwan tested positive for COVID-19 in June.
