AGREEMENT OF EXPORT HEALTH CERTIFICATION FOR EXPORTS TO BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Agreement of Export Health Certification for Exports to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA), issues Information Notice to Industry.

The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) recently issued an Information Notice to industry in relation to technical requirements for Irish companies trading with Bosnia and Herzegovina in an evolving third country regulatory environment.

The SFPA has agreed the format of an Export Health Certificate for Fishery Products with the Veterinary Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Please contact your local SFPA office for a copy of this certificate template.

This agreement opens up Bosnia and Herzegovina as a new market for Irish exporters of fishery products. No third country registration needs to be undertaken – Irish exporters simply need to ensure any consignments destined for Bosnia and Herzegovina are accompanied by a copy of the Bosnia and Herzegovina specific export health certificate template, and the generic third country certificate of origin issued by their local SFPA port office.

Please note that this certificate can only be used to certify wild caught fish and fishery products and wild caught crustaceans which are no longer viable. Live bivalve molluscs, live crustaceans and products derived from aquaculture cannot be exported from Ireland to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
