According to the USAPEEC MondayLine customs inspectors are rejecting some shipments of U.S. poultry products resulting in either rejection and destruction of the contents of containers or return at a very high cost. Items of concern include the quality of paws from the 
U.S. and other nations. Customs inspectors are also requiring absolute compliance with seals on containers and documentation. Any discrepancies result in rejection.
It is questioned whether recent actions of the General Administration of Customs are motivated by an imperative to conform strictly to regulations or whether creating impediments to importation is in fact a protectionist strategy motivated by the Government.
