Export Catch Certificates;
Export Health Certificates;

New ICT system to help you with Export Catch Certificates
A new IT system to process and issue export catch certificates, and other supporting documentation, is being developed to help facilitate trade following EU exit. Exporters will receive full instructions on how to register and use the new system before we leave the EU. Further information will be provided at the roadshows detailed above.
