Russia clarifies conditions of seafood import from Thai plants
Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Rosselkhoznadzor in its directive No. FS-NV-4/7540 dated 30 of July 2008 about the approval of the list of Thai seafood plants having valid contracts with Russian importing companies has set the conditions of Thai seafood supplies onto the territory of the Russian Federation, reports https://www.fishnet.ru/ (http://www.fishnet-russia.com/ ) with the reference to spokesman of the Department.
Accordingly, if a Thai plant has been enrolled for the list it has the right to supply its products to Russian Federation under the food safety guarantees of the Fisheries Department of Thailand.
Each consignment of frozen fish or shellfish shall be accompanied with a new vet certificate for fish/non-finfish or ready-to-eat products exported to Russia. Such a certificate is obligatory for each product consignment.
In case a Thai plant has not been listed yet, the plant shall apply to the Department of Fisheries of Thailand which is in charge to compile the list and pass it to Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Rosselkhoznadzor for further consideration.
As a rule, the Department of Fisheries of Thailand updates the data of the enrolled plants monthly.
As soon as the plant is included into the list it can export its seafood products onto the territory of the Russian Federation according to usual procedure. It is obvious that exportation of finfish and non-finfish to Russia is impossible unless the plant is included into the list.
As for Rosselkhoznadzor customs clearance of the consignment it is obligatory to have a vet certificate to clear the consignment.
