🥮 [Mid-Autumn Festival防疫 Heavy Fine of NT$200,000] Bringing mooncakes with meat into the country may result in a fine! The Immigration Agency reminds: Gifts are about the thought, don't let epidemics reunite.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, many people are planning to travel abroad or visit relatives, and often choose to buy local specialty gifts when returning to Taiwan. The Immigration Agency specifically appeals that mooncakes containing meat, dried meat, sausages, and various pork products are potential channels for the introduction of animal epidemics such as African swine fever. Travelers must comply with epidemic prevention regulations and must not carry them into the country in violation of regulations, so as to avoid facing a heavy fine of NT$200,000 for the first offense! 📌 Key points of epidemic prevention promotion at a glance: Heavy fines show results: The number of people heavily fined NT$200,000 for illegally carrying meat products into the country around the Mid-Autumn Festival has decreased from 125 in 2024 to 76 in 2025, indicating that the epidemic prevention awareness of Taiwanese nationals and foreign residents in Taiwan has significantly improved. Building a dual defense line of "domestic + border": Domestic promotion: Through LINE groups and various activities, continue to remind new residents, migrant workers, and overseas students not to ask relatives and friends abroad to mail or express meat products to Taiwan. Border inspection: The airport border inspection stations have strengthened scrolling messages and screen promotions, reminding travelers that if they accidentally carry them, they should actively discard them in the disposal boxes before clearing customs to avoid punishment. Remember the "Three No's" principle of epidemic prevention: Do not carry, do not buy, do not mail. 💡 Editor's note: During the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, let thoughts and blessings return home, and keep epidemic risks outside the country, so that we can jointly protect Taiwan's precious livestock safety and epidemic prevention achievements! 🗣️ Discussion time for RtiTalk readers: The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
