The commerce ministry on Wednesday lifted import restriction on porcine intestinal mucosa which includes guts and bladder.

The import is subject to obtainment of sanitary import permit from the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying.

"Import of only porcine intestinal mucosa [guts, bladders and stomach of animals (other than fish), whole and pieces thereof, fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried or smoked] is free," the Directorate General of Foreign Trade said in a notification.
