Inconsistent certification requirements for fish exports from the UK to Thailand
Trade barrier summary
The department of fisheries often requires fish exporters to provide multiple documents at the port, despite the legal requirement being just one of the following documents:
- catch certificate
- certificate of origin
- exporting permission
- health certificates
These inconsistent and unpredictable requirements for documentation are challenging for exporters, who may be unable to obtain health and catch certificates.
