On July 7, the head of the Import and Export Food Safety Bureau of the General Administration of Customs answered reporters' questions on the comprehensive assessment report on the disposal of nuclear contaminated water in Fukushima, Japan, released by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

In order to prevent the export of radioactively contaminated Japanese food to China and protect the safety of imported food by Chinese consumers, the Chinese Customs prohibits the import of food from ten prefectures (cities) including Fukushima, Japan, and treats food from other parts of Japan, especially aquatic products (including edible aquatic products) Strictly review the attached certification documents, strengthen supervision, strictly implement 100 inspections, and continue to strengthen the detection and monitoring of radioactive substances, ensure the safety of food exported from Japan to China and strictly prevent the import of risky products.

China Customs has taken note of the comprehensive assessment report recently issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency on Japan's Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan. The report did not fully reflect the views of all the experts involved in the assessment, and the conclusions were not unanimously endorsed by the experts.
