S. Korean meat importers hesitant to sell U.S. beef
SEOUL, July 2 (Yonhap) -- South Korean meat importers are hesitant to sell U.S. beef that has cleared quarantine inspections due to fear of a public backlash, government inspectors said Wednesday.
"Since the first beef shipments received quarantine clearance certificates on Monday, the total number of certificates issued has grown sharply, but only two shipments have actually cleared customs," said an official of the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service. He said 0.4 ton cleared customs on Monday and 18.5 tons were sent through customs on Tuesday.
