The Directorate of Fisheries just sent an official letter to Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) about the application of a seafood catch certificate in the Japanese market.
The official dispatch declared that according to the announcement from the Japanese Embassy in Vietnam, the Japanese competent authority will apply the requirement of a catch certificate for 4 species: Squid and Cuttlefish; Cololabis Saira (Pacific saury, Cololabis spp.); mackerel (Mackerel, Scomber spp) and Herring (Sardine, Sardinops spp) when imported into Japan.
Japan will apply the above regulation starting from December 1, 2022.
Japan is the second-largest market for Vietnamese seafood. In 2021, seafood exports to Japan reached over $1.3 billion, accounting for 14.9% of the total seafood export value.
Over the first two months of this year, seafood exports to Japan reached $210 million, up 16% over the same session in 2021.
