Beijing: China has banned beef, dairy and alcohol imports from Lithuania, hinting an escalation in the business and geopolitical bond between the two nations, media reports said.
In a letter sent by China’s customs authority to Lithuania’s State Food and Veterinary Service, seen by the South China Morning Post, Beijing accused the tiny Baltic state of failing to provide technical details under which such goods are permitted to enter the Chinese market.
“Despite repeated urging from the Chinese side, Lithuania only submitted materials for beef exports to China once in August 2019, and has not submitted any materials since then,” the letter read.
“In view of this, China has decided to suspend import declarations for Lithuanian beef and dairy products from February 9,” it continued.
China’s customs authority said it had received a report from Chinese consumers “that there was a problem of tampering with the production date and expiry date of Lithuanian beer exported to China”, the newspaper reported.
