Hong Kong tightens radiation inspection of Japanese seafood imports

 Hong Kong has started strengthening radiation inspections of seafood
imports from Japan, sources said Saturday, amid concerns in China over a
plan to discharge treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima
nuclear plant into the ocean. The tighter inspections started in mid-June
and customs clearance of Japanese seafood was delayed by about three hours
compared with earlier clearance times.

Hong Kong on Friday reiterated its
concerns over the water plan. The Japanese government has confirmed that
some shipments of Japanese seafood have been held up at China’s customs.
Hong Kong is Japan’s second-largest market for agricultural and fisheries
exports, while mainland China is its biggest.
