The pigs or relevant products sent to 皇冠体育app after the declaration would be destroyed and those sent to 皇冠体育app before Saturday would have to pass A (H1N1) tests, the announcement said.

Passengers are not allowed to take pigs or relevant products into 皇冠体育app and no pigs or relevant products would be allowed to be mailed to the country, the announcement said.
