Beijing imposed the ban in May on imports of all poultry and related products from Brazil after a bird flu outbreak was detected in the nation. China’s decision to remove it is based on risk-analysis results, according to a statement published on the Weibo account of its general customs office late Friday. It was dated Oct. 31.
