What the statuses mean

Allowed
An official source states the trade is permitted without further conditions for this scope.
Prohibited
An official source confirms a ban. We block publication, matching and progress.
Restricted
Permitted only under conditions — listed origins or establishments, certificates, notifications.
Licence or approval required
An official source requires a permit, licence or authorisation before shipment.
Case-by-case check
No current official source was verified, or the rules are unclear. Regulatory check required before publication or transaction.

No entry is marked allowed or prohibited today: none of the official pages checked states an unconditional permission or a ban for the scope shown.

Checks on every trade lane

These apply whatever the product and destination. Lists marked live change daily: we link them and never copy them.

Animal disease status and restriction zones

Live data — check on the transaction date

Avian influenza, Newcastle disease and zoning decisions change continuously. Check the official status on the transaction date and again before shipment.

How HatchMatch screens a request

  1. Before a product or supplier is published, or an RFQ moves forward, we identify the product, its origin, destination, transit countries and intended use.
  2. We check sanctions, trade bans, licences, standards, import and export approvals, labelling, safety, customs and transport limits — and, for animals and animal products, veterinary certificates, disease zones, quarantine, food safety, traceability and welfare.
  3. If an official source confirms the item is prohibited, we block publication, matching and progress. Restricted or unclear items are put on hold until verified.
  4. We record the sources, the decision, who checked and when, and the date of the next check.
  5. We collect the RFQ and review the need before any commercial introduction. Infrastructure projects start at USD 250,000; poultry and egg product requests are qualified by specification, volume, destination and logistics.

Who is responsible for what

Buyers and suppliers are responsible for giving correct details and documents and for holding the permits their role requires. Our team makes reasonable checks; these do not replace professional advice or a decision by the competent authority.
