Seafood is one of NZ’s most valuable export categories – and one of the most tightly regulated. From RMP compliance to EU and Asian market access requirements, the documentation burden is significant and the consequences of non-compliance hit fast.
Seafood
NZ seafood processors and exporters operate under the Animal Products Act and are required to maintain approved Risk Management Programmes. Export access requires compliance with importing country requirements across a diverse range of markets, each with their own documentation and certification requirements.
- RMP development and keeping programmes current with regulatory change
- HACCP programme development for species-specific hazards
- Export eligibility and importing country requirements for key markets
- Traceability from catch or harvest to export dispatch
- Temperature control documentation and verification
- Audit preparation for MPI verifier visits
