China’s seafood imports from Japan tumbled 67.6% from a year earlier in August, widening from 28.5% in July, according to China’s customs data.

In August, China imported from Japan seafood worth 149.02 million yuan, the data showed. 

In late August, Beijing imposed a blanket ban on marine products from Japan in response to the discharge of treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

Even before the water release began, China had already tightened controls on marine product imports from Japan in early July by introducing blanket radiation testing on them.
